Seedlings

Last month a dear friend had brought me some heirloom seeds she had harvested from her garden last season, to include a seed tray! Well I planted them right away and was so excited as had tomatoes, eggplant, and a few other little sprouts pop up, and darn it if the mice didn’t find a way to get to them and had themselves a mighty fine dinner! I did manage to save the eggplant sprouts. Well, my friend knew right away that something had happened when I didn’t show her the progress made, and today she brought me some of her extra seedlings. She has also said her husband can bring a load of good lake dirt for the garden for when we are ready for it. Hehe, I wonder if he knows he has been “volunteered” J That’s ok. I “volunteered” my hubby to go and help him get it!!!

And she has been bringing me fresh eggs. NOTHING can compare to fresh eggs, I am officially spoiled!

I believe this garden will be extra special, as it was friendship that helped start it J

Oh!!! And mom will be coming to visit soon, I can’t wait to show her! 

Tree Differences

These trees, if I remember right, are "Chinese Potash" trees. They were the same age, same height, acquired from the same location and put into the ground at the same time.

If you look to the left of the pic above you will see a 6ft T-post in the ground, to give you an idea of what the scale is. BTW I love the color on this one! So fall like! Now look at the pic below. If you look on the ground to the left you will see a camp picnic table, the white is the top of the table and the blue is the seats.

Incredible difference isn't it! What we did differently? Compost tea. WOW. Its amazing what compost can do :)
