going down to NC

Bill and I leave for the first of our BBQuest 2009 spots. We will have tee shirts in hand and I am sure we will take pictures, but here are the two graphics that we have for the tees:

In other news we had a nice weekend. I went to Ran's bridal shower, which was very nice, while Bill weeded in the rain. It rained on and off all day Saturday. Sunday we went to a gardening store after church and got all the do-dads to make a new and improved rabbit fence. We also picked up a few seedlings and exchanged some pots. Then we went home and took out the old fence (wood post had already rotted in the ground) tilled all the soil and mixed in some peat moss transplanted some plants to increase the size of the garden and made one of the two fenced in areas. last year we ran out of chicken wire and had extra wood posts. this year we ran out of metal posts and have a whole extra thing of chicken wire.

I have changed the design of my garden a bit from last year and wanted to give people and idea of what we did. The first picture is last year. notice the blocks representing the brick "wall" i used to finish out fence because we ran out of wire. in the second picture, notice the path making it easier to get to the food, the trellis that i will grow my cucumbers on and the bump out in size (i took the other plants and put them in other parts of my yard.) Oh and a got i big soaker hose that i will wind through and be able to connect my hose to water better with less wasted water.

Obviously i am very excited about this year's garden. I hope everything grows as good as last year.
