Well friends, it's official. The gardens are planted. 8 plots of seeds, and 3 days of hard labor - working from sun up, to sun down. Now, all I can do is hope and dream, that maybe, just maybe - a smidgen of my garden will look like this glorious photo below...
My beyond wonderful neighbor gave me 3 of her HUGE antique seedling cages, to keep critters away from my sprouting babes. This gives me great hope!
(plus, she gave me another huge wooden framed cage, such kindness!!)
I have dug trenches, put down burlap, mesh - you name it, I am trying it. I did chicken wire trenches in the ground, with rocks as the bedding last year, and it helped a little, but I am getting tougher this year ;)
(an attempt at keeping gophers from eating my plants from underground)
I have schlepped home oodles of bags of soil, taller than me...
And planted a ridiculous amount of seeds.
All by my lil' ole self.
I hope something grows :)
I can't move another muscle.
I am one very tired girl.
But guess what?
I have been painting by night (and filling orders etc.).
I have a handful of new art pieces entering their final stages.
But for now...
I must rest, and dream of those seeds sprouting.
Wish the soil luck?
Oh oh, also....
I am Through the Secret Keyhole (at my other blog), in an abandoned castle...
See you super soon, with lots of good stuff, I hope ;)
