Yesterday my friend, Doris, and I met our friend, Melinda, at the quilt show in Abilene. I’ll tell you about the quilt show later . . in another post. When I got home, I guess it was about 4 or 5 p.m., Vince said “Come see!” so I followed him out to the garden.
While I was gone, he had moved the fencing out. If you see where the white buckets are, they had been just at the inside edge of the garden before, and he also brought it out the other direction. He tilled up some of the soil. I think he’s trying to work me to death with all that garden space!
I think the plan is that we’ll plant the blueberries where the newly tilled up soil is. We have to condition the soil there to get it to be a bit more acidic for the blueberries. I think the area to the right may be where I put the kitchen garden – lettuce, a couple of peppers, one or two cherry tomatoes, herbs . . the kind of things I can run in there and get since it’s closest to the gate, and not have to make my way through the whole garden to get things I need for dinner most every day.
This area is probably where he will plant the grapevines and the raspberry plants. The grapevines will work nicely in this long, narrow area. He’ll have to build some kind of trellis down the middle.
I guess once we get every square inch of the whole place planted, we can get some rest!

Hog panels might work for the fencing for the grapes, we’ve been using them for tomatoes and it works great. Just thoughts. BTW it might mean another trip to TWC to get them.
Hugs!!!!!

I think you need to name that garden, Vince’s Garden quilt. It’s beautiful!

Judy,
I’m so glad you have Vince in your life. He loves you so much (and you love him so much, too) and he is such a good man to you. Wish we lived in the same “neck of the woods” so that we could meet up with you and Vince now and then.
Have a great day!
Pat says
Oh, no….NO rest for the weary….don’t you know that? Like someone else already said…….soon will come the invasion of WEEDS! How nice, though, to have such a variety of items planted.

All that fresh food and knowing what you have sprayed (or NOT) on it. You never know what you are getting in the stores these days. Plus, the exercise and sun you are getting keeping the garden in good shape….no wonder you are looking so good! I am happy for both of you and love seeing the pictures and reading about your interesting life.

Deb in Japan says
That’s not a garden! LOL! That is a farm! Wow I canot even dream about trying to can that much in produce. Your going to have to take some to the farmers market. Or open a road side stand. Maybe a ” You Pick It!”
Liz says
Looking good – but maybe Vince is enlarging the garden so you have more to weed and water and then he has less to mow?
