I am exhausted

nice real nice and you ar e so ambisious

Hi GP Bob, you are really getting it going with your gardening, plus you say you have more work to do. In the end you will be greatly rewarded. I love your spunk and enthusiasm, about your work. I follow your gardening post every year. I am prying for your wife's speedy recovery. God Bless you GrandPa Bob.

You should take it easy for a while though! I know you probably want to get it done but believe it or not...it will get done even if you take a little break!

I can't wait to get my plants in the ground. Since this weekend is mother's day, I figure I'd save everyone money and trouble and just ask them to remove the wood where I want my garden..You think it'd work? If so, my garden will be planted by Sunday evening..:)

hi grandpa bob almost wrote garden bob lol lol I am tired just reading of all the heavy work you did but you will outdo yourself this summer with all your good veggies and it will pay you back for sure Do get a few days rest then you will be rejuvenated. also you should take your wife out to eat for moms day someplace nice and do not touch a shovel all day .lol

Yeah you! We are planning to get more dirt this weekend so I can re plant my veggies that washed away during the flooding over the past two weeks. We flooded twice . My white onions though where too far away to get it and doing great as are the carrots, lettuces and radishes we planted in a box closer to the house. My potatoes are ready to go out but their box (we have a frame we refill with new compost each year washed away. We did get it back minus the dirt we had put in so that needs to be refilled. I also have Roma and yellow pear tomatoes, pickling cucumbers, lemon cucumbers, egg plant, bell peppers, butter crisp as well as butternut squashes and pumpkins all started from seed ready to go in. I love gardening Grandpa Bob!

I went out today and bought more plants and flowers. At this point everything is going into containers or a raised bed. Two years ago or maybe last year, my son helped me bring in about 600 pounds of soil to the one bed. I am really emphasizing tomatoes and peppers and my mouth is watering just to the thought of home made salsa, and bowls full of little bite sized goodness. I am planting some herbs as well. Give your wife a gentle hug from us.

Okay, you just made me feel sooooooooo lazy.

LOL. I know what you mean. Gardening is some hard work. We finally got to go get our tomato plants and corn yesterday. We will get the garden tilled again this week and the plants in the ground finally if the weather cooperates.

Wow, that sounds like a lot of work! The weed barrier is a good idea, I had not thought of that. My little garden is overgrown with grass and weeks right now and I'm seriously considering not planting much at all this year--by the time it quits raining there will be so many weeds I won't have time to clear the space. I'm considering container gardening with just beans and peas. I'm just too tired this year to give it much effort. Rest up and rejuvenate! I look forward to seeing your garden's progress.

Hey GB! I'm tired just counting the bags of soil!lol But, how jealous I am already of those wonderful veggies you'll be grillin' and eating all summer long. Now get some rest for tomorrow's planting!

That is a lot of gardening Grandpa Bob! I would love to try gardening but they say i do not have a green thumb! it just die Rest well

You can use the weekend to see recipes for your Summer crops . I always dream ahead and sometimes it doesn´t work. But you absolutly deserve a weekend break! I´m glad your wife is better. Just tell her to relax and wait for her body to heal. Happy gardening!

Firstly who can blame you from being tired. After all the pictures thus far that I have seen, gee it is no wonder. You are doing quite a bit and so fast too. Coffee breaks are always great reasons to stop for a bit. I seriously doubt you will stop for a few days. You will peek out there and soon find, whoops this too has to be done kind of feeling. I think you are doing an awesome job, I have missed out for sure as it sounds like you have been doing this for so long, from what I see they way the others have responded. Wow I am visualizing the cool and great tasting salads you will be savoring sometime this summer. Thanks so much for sharing, it is always a pleasure to see the pictures.

Awesome stuff. May long weekend up here is usually the time to put in the gardens- I can hardly contain myself; I am too tempted to just go out and plant them regardless of how the weather is :D. I'm excited to try farming herbs this time, as well as planting much, much more produce- about 1/2-1 acre of land :D May your produce grow plentiful and tasty!
