Guardian of the Garden

This is our new 'Home for the Gnome'. He is there to keep the bugs and cats away.

He's likes this new assignment better that when we used him as a  (Spy in disguise) up at camp to try and keep the bears away.

Fruits of our labours


Walked out the other night to check on my broccoli and new young peas after a pretty good wind storm.  If you enlarge this picture, you will see that the petals from a near by fruit tree (Nectarine) blew off and cover the grow box.  I thought it looked kinda cool and pretty.

Got my tomatoes growing in 'Walls of Water" and they are about to come out the top.  Got 4 more weeks till the average last frost could happen.   I love the spring time.

PS- After already digging out 4 other tree stumps, It was easier just to build my grow box around this one.  I think I'll put a flower pot on top of it.  (That was the plan all along----right!!!)




I have a greater appreciation for the early settler who cleared the land by hand.

Even had the neighbors son come down to help dig.  He resume stated that he was a "Great Digger Man"

This is what 2 days of  hard #@^&* digging will get you.   Success!!   Anyone need a stump?
