I stepped out on the front porch to what Charlotte was barking at, must have been a rabbit. I thought this "just before" the sun came up looked great.
Since we are expanding the garden we made a list of what we need. Hubby looked it up and ball park figure was $2500 with taxes. We watched for sales and got it all for $1408.10. That included onion sets and the majority of plants and seeds for the pollinator gardens. I will have to completely redo the herb garden but I knew that last year and have been putting $$ back for that.
I am watching sales as 26 of the 32 beds need replace with in the next year. I am buying metal beds when I find them on sale. Not looking for everything to match or like that.
The hall humidifier and the front room humidifier are off and unplugged.
We have ate from home the whole week. Even though Hubby said he almost called when he was getting fuel for the work truck and ask if I wanted gas station pizza at $11. It's decent pizza. He decided not to even offer to be supportive of our(ok, mostly MY) choice to focus on getting perennials in and then getting the mortgage paid off as quick as possible.
Our waffle maker died... we held off replacing it, waiting to see if we missed waffles. The second time I bought Eggo waffles , we agreed to buy a new waffle maker. Now I have to figure out a homemade waffle mix as I am trying to wean Hubby from Bisquick. Though I will admit I like it for cheddar biscuits.
Since it is light out longer, we are not turning the lamps on until an hour later.
I planted apple mint in the one grow tower and orange mint in the other. I am not sure where I want them yet so this will work.
I planted 4 varieties of dwarf peas in hanging baskets. I can't remember where I saw it at but they looked good so I decided to try it.
On the 8th , I told Hubby I figured out my "work" for the month so I wouldn't trigger anything. April has 30 days minus the 8 days already past, minus 4 Sundays, 2 Tuesdays that are appts/ errands and 2 days to go visit the kids and his parents. Leaves 14 days for work. I have 28 "work items" on my list so I need to do 2 a day. Maybe I will be frugal with my time???
Prayers for peace
Blessed Be

I was awe struck at your figuring out the days in the month and available days to work and tasks per day! Well done! Love that idea. My current plan is to do the six things on my list this week, in five days. But I unexpectedly started today so i am ahead of the curve. ;). Hilogene in Az.
ReplyDeleteI did the same, nice out so I planted the apple mint and orange mint in pots.
DeleteWe love Krusteaz Belgian waffle mix. Publix here puts it on BOGO regularly and we stock up every time. I haven't found a homemade recipe we like so I decided to just stick with our favorite.
ReplyDeleteOnce we got over the worst of covid, we have not eaten anything we did not make from home. I love, LOVE reading your plans for the garden. I wish I could do a tenth of what you do. You inspire me.
ReplyDeleteYes, Krusteaz is really good. And, I, too, am most impressed with your breakdown of jobs into two per day. I just make lists and then plow through.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to plan your work out like that!
