THE CABIN HOUSE

with the wall so purdy and painted, we're on to the next project. gutters should probably have been somewhere next on the list, but the yard needed some gussying up now that the wall is so fancy.
it seems that the previous owners (at some point down the line) were quite the gardeners. every time we dig somewhere in the yard we find old vegetable tags or shards of broken pots. last weekend we found the ghost of a vegetable bed and so we decided to breathe some life in to it.i sneaked in to osh hardware late one night and snagged the last of the starter plants. yellow globe onions, broccoli, sugar snap peas, sage and peppermint. then i went crazy and bought just about every seed packet available. i think it's probably too late to plant from seed but with our trusty friend, global warming, keeping our days so warm....it might just work. fingers crossed, please. then we can add to the list: dino kale, beets, shallots, carrots, arugula, romaine lettuce and chives.

six (or was it eight?) bags of planting soil and one bag of chicken manure later....we have a baby veggie garden!while i was busy sowing, curt was back at the concrete madness. we planned out the perfect stepping stones and curt poured the most beautiful garden stones you ever done seen...which i promptly stepped on. i got banned to the beach chair while he fixed them up again. now they're perfect, except for the paw prints from some little night rascal...
