Sunday Activities

Sunday will be another day of gardening at the German Farm. Hopefully we will get everything done this time and post some before and after pictures of the gardens. We are also looking at cooking in our outside kitchen and churning butter. The weather forecast for Sunday is great, a lovely 85 F (29 C) degrees.

Sunday Update

Well, progress was a little slower than expected. Due to being one (wo)man down I did not get as much done as I had wanted at the German farm. Among the things that were accomplished:
  • rake the garden and clear away dead leaves
  • build a compost heap to generate organic plant food
  • enjoy some of Donna's excellent cookies
  • show the house and garden to the visiting scouts
I did find some garlic in one of the older parts of the garden which I re-planted in the herb section. It was overgrown with weeds when I found it so it was hard to spot. Next week we will try to pull the rest of the weeds and get some planting done as well.

Christa was a big help today, taking care of the kids. Many thanks for that.
