We broke ground this week on the gardens. It's actually been dry for the first week since November. The weather says more rain in the coming week, so we figured this would be a good time to get everything plowed under.
While Pop was plowing, we took a moment and planted our peas. We cut out sod under a fence line at the barn and planted them so they climb the fence this summer.
After we got the barn garden squared away, Pop got the garden at the house plowed under.
And in the vein of gardens, we planned to make a mint garden right outside the garage door. Last year we didn't have enough mint to make our water as strong as we would like. This year we're going all out. We started out by dumping a big load of duck poop where we were going to make the bed.
Then Lawman loaded up some dirt into Deathstroke and brought it home, to cover up the duck poop.
We have the mint, we're waiting for a couple of weeks before we plant it just in case mom nature goes bi-polar again. We don't believe frost will hurt mint, but we're not going to risk it.
We did a little food stuff this week. Starting out we did a seafood boil. It's been a while since we had one, we thought we would free up some real estate in the freezer.
Then, The Girl got into the act. She started going through her new cookbook and found a couple of recipes she wanted to try.
We had to bake the DT's a new batch of nite nite treats.
Then we ended the week with baked donuts. And a nap.
