After the buggers

Unfortunately, my peppers didn't quite make season.
However, the rest of the garden is going great!




I picked up a water pump sprayer.
This helps out a lot. 


Even Zoom Zoom enjoys the garden. 

Until next time...

Oh No

As I was looking over my peppers earlier today, I noticed something not quite right.  

I called Bath's Garden Center.  It may appear aphids made there home in the peppers.  If it's not aphids it's something else.   I got the advice to use soap water. 
Hopefully it will work.

Hello Sunshine

What I have really noticed
now the warm days are here
is how the garden is growing!

Here is an example of how the
Morning glories love the sun.

Keeping Warm

The plants were ready
to be placed into the pallet on time.
However, mother nature was saying
more snow and frost. My son's room turned
into a miniature garden room for a short time.


Once the weather got warmer and Jack Frost
took a vacation I was able to move the pallet into
it's summer home and start to work.

I used a combination of sod and soil.

Onto the plants.  I used weed cloth for the back
of the pallet. If I didn't the plants would fall right through.


&
The collection of plants are perfect.

Until Next Time...

And The Sowing Begins

Time to start the seeds. 
This included a quick trip to 
to pick up Burpee seeds.


I found the perfect place to start all the seeds.
A West Window at the office. 
The Jiffy Pots worked awesome.


My Boss got a green thumb out of this as well.
He has the second row. Veggi's


It only took about 4 day until some sprouts
started to come through.





 Give them a bit more time and they will be ready to
transplant.

Until Next Time...

Onto the Pallet


So, looking back at all of those pallets


Picking out the best 

Once home we chose the perfect one to start working on.
First we set it where it would be
for the summer to get idea...

Not a bad look.

Now onto sanding...My youngest daugter 
and myself was working on this.

Painting time 

With the weather no too good yet the pallet was not 
going to venture over the deck as of yet.
I did put a few flowers in it to show some people the idea.


Until next time...

It's A Team Effort


Getting the trellis ready took a team effort.
My Son and My Husband made a good team. 










And here is a small improvement. 

But WAIT there is more to come

Until Next Time...
