Saturday we got back to work on the yard. After a mean 9 am work meeting we went up to Dyno Dirt to get the compost mix for the veggie beds. It took two loads but we finally got them filled for cheaper than we thought with a very rich soil. Lucky for me, Arab came to help so he and Mr. Dirty Feet did all the hard shoveling (really they did ALL the hard work today).
Except for having to make two trips, it took almost no time with those boys hard at work. While they did the tough stuff I pulled up daffodils from the foxglove bed to transplant them into their very own pot. Bleeding Hearts are going to go where the daffodils were. We also added an additional raised bed onto the end of the big one for onions and potatoes because we ended up with extra dirt and blocks.
Arab and I had been talking about putting CDs in the trees to help keep the birds away for almost a year and figured while we were out working we'd go ahead and get it done. Dirty Feet and I sent him up the tree armed with CDs and pruners.
We had dinner then put all the veggie seedlings and the onions into the newly filled bed. Dirty Feet got the peppers started in the peat pods while I ordered our new bees. May 17th I'll be picking up 3 lbs of Russian honey bees with a marked queen from a very freaked out post office. Until next weekends adventures....
