Yesterday I planted some mounding strawberries. I also got the pine-straw out from around the ones we planted last year, got the dead leaves off, and sprayed them with a fungicide. They already have strawberries on them. We should have fresh strawberries to eat within the next few weeks.
Fenris did a pawsome job pulling the garden wagon down to the butterfly garden (down hill). I just had to remind him to slow down and keep him focused. He did want to go investigate smells. I had thought he could spend some time in the garden with me but that didn't work out so well. When I kept him hooked up to the garden wagon he got tangled in the leash. When I unhooked him he decided that since I was sitting on the ground he was suppose to be IN MY LAP. He has informed that since he is a MUTT he can be a lap dog if he wants to be. After we compromised and he laid down by me things when smoothly for about 30 minutes until he decided to help me weed. Unfortunately he can't tell the weeds from the flowers so he got in trouble for pulling up a plant. After that he decided that helping in the garden was no fun and went to explore at which point he had to be returned to his yard. He didn't seem to mind at all. As for pulling the wagon back to the house (uphill) Fenris seems to be pretty smart, he let me do all the pulling ................~Alasandra
- Wordy Wednesday Dean & Tyler No Pull Harness Complaint
Well if you remember when I got the Dean & Taylor No Pull Harness I wasn't happy cause it wasn't blue and it didn't fit right. If you forgot you can read my post here. It took them forever to send the strap that allowed me to wear my harness....
- Thursday In The Garden With Socks & Artemisia
Welcome to our garden. I agreed to help Artemisia with the gardening post today. Here she is posing for the camera. And here she is ready to pounce on me. Some of you mentioned how nice and shady our Candlebushes are. They are indeed...
- Fenris' Flowers On Friday
I love sitting down at the butterfly garden. Lately it has been raining too much for us to visit. It is very muddy at our house and Mommy says if it ever stops raining she has a ton of weeding to do as the butterfly garden looks more like a jungle now....
- Garden Party
The really warm weather that we had last week may be gone for now, but signs of Spring still remain. This past weekend Hubbs and I finished moving oak bark mulch into the vegetable garden. (A big thanks to our adopted "son" Tim for moving...
- Minerva, Master-weeder
Amazingly, since Minerva has taken up residence in the garden, it is virtually weed free (we won't mention that I spent the entire past week on my hands and knees). Regardless, the garden is the best it has ever looked at this point of the season....
