Weekend at the Farm 12/03-04/2011


Arrived Friday evening. Gray and rainy. Rainy is good! We need the rain.


  • Built a new bed. Actually, it is an expansion of the bed where the 5 La Marne roses are growing alongside the driveway.

  • Planted about 35 Narcissus Avalanche (the commone name is Seven Sisters) in the new bed, and I planted 15 more in the Rose Garden.

  • Planted 100 Crocus Tommasinianus in the new bed also.

  • Planted 25 Narcissus odorus Linnaeus (the common name is Bacon and Eggs) in the Star Garden.

  • Began building a new bed, but my husband's saw gave out and he couldn't finish cutting down cedars for my flower bed edging.

  • My husband built an arbor in the front of the house and the final gate to close off the yard to the critters. It's not totally cut off, of course. An animal can squeeze between posts in several places, and also under all the gates. But the yard is vastly more closed off than it was before.

  • Weeded, weeded, weeded.

  • Turned off all the sprinklers. It's supposed to rain again this week.

  • Mulched in the Infinity Garden.

  • Made smoked turkey leg and collard green gumbo with turkey we smoked and collards from my garden.

  • Moved the lemon tree and the tangerine tree into the Greenhouse. It's supposed to freeze this week.

  • The farmer that owns the land next to ours caught 5 hogs in a trap last weekend and there was one in the trap this weekend.
