Last year really got away from us in terms of updating here, in large measure because we were so busy in the yard! Beyond the yard, G started academy-level soccer and I trained for and competed in a half-marathon. Both of these ate up a good chunk of our summer and early fall.
We were also dealt a bit of a blow with Big Dog - he was diagnosed with a brain tumor, so most of April and May were dedicated to getting him to a stable point. Additionally, we had a very wet spring, which meant we didn't get to plant the vegetable garden until June. The late planting led to a late harvest, much of which was ruined by poor weather again.
April 15th - Snow fall! What the hell?
April 21st - Little Dog, Excavator
April 29th - New telescope!
May 6th - Re-landscaped the front Island Bed with native perennials and annuals
June 16th - I wasn't digging! Must have been some other dog
June 18th - I picked up a new pot, more herbs, 5 bags of top soil, 4 replacement pepper plants. Filled the deck planter box up, planted all the new plants, plus the remaining annuals.
July 22nd - Monarch caterpillars on the milkweed
July 29th - Zucchini bread day
August 4th - The start of burr season
November 3rd - Quote from G: I like harvesting carrots the most because they take grit.
