Garden 3.0 Update

The Higher Mind of New England has released me, for now, so I will actually have some time to write again (I guess I'll need it since I completely lost a manuscript I was working on. *sigh*) I had some pictures of the garden set-up but they are really bad. "Hey great! Murky water and dirt whoopee!" So I will take better pics probably this weekend. Everything has sprouted, except that I don't remember what I planted in most places. That might present a problem no? :) We had another frost, but it wasn't bad. Of course the spinach is already getting chewed by something as well.

Sadly, the apple tree in the front of the house was cut down. All that snow this year (37 inches total) really beat up the plants in the area. The tree split in half and then the other half was dying. That and 3 azaleas were cut down yesterday. So that one tree will be replaced with 2. Probably in the fall, so it gets planted dormant. Now I just need to decide which tress I want. (apple tress can fertilize each other, and can be different species. You won't get Granny Delicious or anything though.) I do need 2 since self-pollinating trees make crappy apples as the ones of the old tree illustrated.

I'll get some good pictures up soon. I'm just glad I don't have a paper to do, for at least 4 months. :)

Garden V3.0

The new one is expanded, planted, and waiting to sprout! Details as soon as I get a few minutes.

UPDATE: So far after several mild frosts, I have life in my garden. 2 Carrots made it from last year (I plucked one, it was very fibrous). Sunflowers and Spinach are sprouting. Nothing else has come up yet. I'm waiting for a little bit before putting up the deer fencing. One because I don't think there is much to attract them and 2 because I just have not had the time with taking care of The Littlest Giant (and yes, she is gigantic) and the Higher Mind of New England hasn't given me a break. 12 days, and then I will have some much deserved freedom.
