Love what you did. I think hubby was supposed to work in the yard.. NO CHECK. I worked all weekend. getting up at 5:30 am and getting off after lunch. We did make the Home show, but that about it for me.

Oh my goodness, I am so impressed Rhonda! YOU built those gadren boxes sweetie? Good for you! There's a little place upside down on the map called OZ, perhaps you've heard of her? Anyway, in OZ there lives this woman who goes by the strange name of Cottage Contessa, or some such name, anywho, she really needs help and advice in the gardening arena. Do you make house calls sweetie? I know her little cottage would be ever so happy if you did! lol Have a wonderful day, and I love your cute little helper too!

Lucky you! It looks so nice there! I have always wanted raised beds like that:>O
I have the cookbook that goes with that book!

Penny from Enjoying The Simple Things said...

Yikes! I am truly a slacker! But, it is not time to plant here yet...soon....

I have three raised beds and they look very similar to yours! When my sister visited this winter, she wanted to know who was buried there - lol...The empty beds in the winter do look a little like plots...:-).

Hugs,
Penny

Hi Rhonda,
I'm playing catch up again and I see you've been really busy. Oh to have your energy..or at least a spoonful of it!! :o)

I love you son's cute pictures in your last post. He did a good job
and so did Tigger!!

Hugs,
Hope

bj said...

Oh, dear...you did sooooo GOOD !!
It needs to get a tad bit warmer here and then we'll plant. Usually just onions, squash and tomatoes, and peppers. We live "in town" so haven't much room. The good thing...both daughter and son live in the country so we have great gardens.....
You have the most precious helper...give him a big hug.
hugs, bj

Linda said...

You were sure busy and got a lot accomplished. Your raised flower beds turned out great. We worked in our yard this past Monday and it felt good cleaning it up after all the storms.
Over the weekend we had a get-away to the coast. It was great...friends, yummy food and good weather, perfect. Have a happy evening, Linda
