Howdy !

Today is rainy right now, so i finally get a small break from all that shoveling dirt!! 12 cubic yards of it! I think we are half way done moving it from the front of the yard to the back! Thank goodness for pickup trucks!
unfortunately, we didnt have anything to cover up the dirt overnight so i know its going to be heavier today! Any volunteers?! LOL

Well, I have 3 new things growing!! FINALLY the danish cross is growing!! Teeeeny tiny babies have decided to show themselves as of 2 days ago! They are so cute! The other things that decided to grow are a tomato and 2 Jalapenos! Mmmmm Sure glad I planted them in the flowerbed! We bought our garden seeds yesterday too (along with 30 fryer chickens that we will resell in the next week or so!)
We are waiting to find Habanero pepper plants. Oh my! I almost forgot to ask about bell peppers too!
We will be having yellow squash, tomatos, zuccinni, Cucumbers, green beans, cherry tomatos, tomatillos, bell and Habanero peppers. Jalapenos.. and I think thats it! Next year we will add onions. We didnt have good luck with them while they were in the hard clay.

My flowers are doing pretty good. The cosmos are growing nicely and I cant remember the other ones i planted, but they are growing good too! My roses bloomed again so now i have 2 yellow rose bushes and the orange one blooming together. I finally got to see my lonely rose bush bloom. I think its a fragrant cloud. My Tiffany rose bush bloomed and it smelled absolutely wonderful!! I think its my most fragrant one! I am considering putting a new rose bush in the flowerbed where one of my trees is. Its dying and its lopsided because I had to cut alot off. Its ugly and theres no hope of 'unlopsiding it' Lol.
I will post some pics soon. Ohhhh and im excited because i have a couple of maple trees growing from seed! Im going to try to grow a couple of willow trees from seed as well!! Hope that works for me! Anyways, tonight ill try to get some pics.
I hope everyone has a nice holiday! Be safe and careful! Thanks for reading!! I know im forgetting to tell you all something, but thats what happens when ya have a short memory LOL.
