First, I want to thank everyone for the love on yesterdays post regarding the bags I made. I love being creative, but I don’t usually love what I make. We’re all our own worst critic, right? But I have to say, I am actually really proud of these bags. I have five currently, two that are 100% cotton and three acrylic. I do not need five of these, and I certainly don’t need MORE than five of them, but you’d better believe I’m making more, because they’re SO fun to make 🙂 A nice way to pass time productively and enjoyably!
Today is overcast and breezy, but its a beautiful day. We are going to make some really exciting progress on our property today, but I’ll tell you all about it tomorrow, when I have pictures to show. Its going to take shape, though, and I’m really happy about that. In the meantime, I’m making final decisions about what we can manage to do this year in our yard and what will wait.
We’re a bit behind in the world of gardening, since it seems absolutely everyone put theirs in over last weekend, but we just weren’t ready. The time is coming in a matter of days, so I went out and tried to acquire the last of what I needed. It was pretty brutally unsuccessful, to be honest, but I found a few things I was looking for!
I have EVERY seed packet I want, down to the detail.
I have a new hose sprayer.
I have a new plan for my berries, and eliminated the need for underground planters.
I have raspberry canes being gifted to me.
I have peonies being gifted to me.
I do NOT have seed potatoes :/
I do NOT have strawberry plants :/
I do NOT have glads :/
I do NOT have a rain barrel :/
I do NOT have planters :/
As you can see, what I lack are not essentials, except seed potatoes, which I really hope we can find in the next day or two!! I’d also like to have some more bags of top soil, for insurance, basically.
Things are going to get done. Its funny to have nothing but time, but tightly limited funds. We have a nice chunk of money saved for this exact project, but we need to be responsible in terms of our finances when Brady’s job is still on hold. So I accept the fact that it may not get ALL done this Spring. Thats ok. But I hope we get a good handful of things done, at least 🙂 Its looking hopeful!!
I hope you’re enjoying your spring days, rain or shine!
