Oh no!

A trip to the back 40 revealed that “something” (possum maybe) decided to eat/play with(?) one of the squash plants.  SO at 9:30 (yes it’s almost dark) I put a temporary fence up …  not that it would keep a critter out if it really wanted to get in but maybe a deterrent…  at least it would slow it down.  The first picture shows how far from the pot ground and the stake was…  and Jake is clearly following the scent.

Progress!

Ran out of dirt but did get the ones planted that I wanted to get planted.  Can’t have tomatoes in each one so I read because they will be too squished together!

Do over…

At first I though that the concrete blocks on the wire would be enough but now I realize that expensive 1/4” wire is useless if the blocks are 1/2”  apart..  Guess I’ll have to start cutting now…

Love my tractor!

Because the concrete blocks were a bit away from the new raised beds I was making I tried to put 2 blocks on the wagon..  that didn’t work..  it was uphill.  Then I got the wheelbarrow…  not even close to being able to do it.  Then I thought…  I have a TRACTOR!!   Ta DA!

Snow shovels aren’t just for winter!

This was great for pulling dirt from the fence to level it off!

All I was going to do…

was to plant some tomatoes in dirt…  of course that would be too easy.  So I put the weed barrier down and space the tomato cages (look carefully there are 6).  Then I thought…  concrete blocks!
