a new blog
After a long drive home (20 minutes) I realized I just didn't like how my life on LMP has turned into only talking about dirt. So, what did I do? I created a blog called Little Miss Planner's Farm. Now, I've thought long and hard (okay, only about a minute) about this and decided that I will now only post the garden stuff on that blog. But for those who like reading about it, I will do a post here to say go there. Make sense? Hope so. Also, there now are links on the top of this page to get there as well.
So head on over there and let me know what you think. If you see any links broken or whatnot, email me and I'll fix them right away. Hope y'all enjoy it.

Feeding the addiction...
Three ways I did so...
1. Our toilet is not being nice, it's slowing running and wasting water. Once we figured out what was the issue, I talked the hubby to venturing out to Home Depot. Once there, I quickly grabbed the basket and made a bee-line to the garden center for more dirt. Three big bags to be exact. I don't what happened but two more herbs (oregano and rosemary) and a jalapeno pepper plant found it's way into my basket too. When the hubby found me, all crazed and a little high off the smell of dirt, he just rolled his eyes and took the basket away and paid.
2. I found the most amazing books on gardening. As much as I'd like to tote my laptop out to the garden, I don't think the hubby would allow it because of my klutzy nature. So in my search for knowledge, I acquired these bad boys on overstock!
3. My garden/cycling/all-around friend Bob is going to come over and is bringing me a HUGE gift.. a truck load of mulch. I know I know you are all jealous of my well connected friends who can get me tons of mulch and railroad ties for free. We'll finally cover the hill with it to keep the weeds at bay and it'll look a lot prettier than how it looks now too! I'm also going to use him as cheap labor and help move some dirt so we can start building the last tier. If he works fast, I might buy him dinner! :)

Little Miss Planner's Farm...update #8.1
Because of the amount of photos I took and the ugly timeouts I'm getting from Nikon Picture Town, I'll have to do this in two posts. Bare with me... lots of photos to follow!!!
I love spring time!
This is the mystery garden section. I am slowly figuring out what is what!
The first portion of the garden we did is sooo big now!
The Herb Garden
Peppers, tomatoes and squash!
The left row is Garlic and the right row is Asparagus
Even the flowers are blooming around the garden
You know how I mentioned we built a second bench? Well, we also stained it and here it is! We are going to make a top for the fire pit to act like a ottoman when not in use. That will be June DIY craft project. I love sitting out here in the evening with the tiki torches lit. It's very calm and serene!

Been a bit MIA
PHEW... what a weekend! We were surrounded by family all weekend long because our beautiful niece graduated high school! I can't believe how time has just flown by. We spent last week cleaning and this weekend just plain celebrating! We had a few little rug rats stay with us and we kept them busy working in the garden (child labor?!) as a fun little project. Now that things have died down a bit, we have the last tier to work on and lots of mulch for hill. In the mean time, I finally "drew" up a map of our garden.
(click on photo to see the FULL map)
The final construction of the garden should be done by the end of May. Fingers crossed!
