Flowers and more


Mitzi's Clementis and her daughter "Flo"


    Our "Wine" colored iris has finally bloomed.

  
     My wife, Glinda, is cleaning out the row of iris so she can better enjoy the blooms.


    Each year it seems we plant more and more garden and esp. tomatoes.  Yesterday evening we planted 50 and today we planted another 250 tomato plants.  WE already had 100 planted when our granddaughter "Flossie" came out to help us.  I noted the time and in 25 minutes the three of us managed to plant 150 tomato plants.  I dug the holes, Glinda carried the plants and took them from the pots and as the photo below shows, "Flossie" planted and covered the plants.  Now we are planning on stopping at another two hundred plants when we get done.  We should end up with a total of 500 plants.

Tomatos are Growing



Greenhouse at Kelley's Dairy

    I needed to recover Glinda's greenhouse with plastic so she could begin moving tomato plants and pepper plants from the house.  My nephew Marvin was lucky enough to be around when I arrived home from a VFW function and he volunteered to help.  Below photos shows him and 3 of my grandchildren on the greenhouse securing the new plastic.




    Below are some photos taken after Glinda had moved some plants.  The very last photo was taken this evening and shows the weeks growth.




    They have sure grown in the last week.

Garden Planter from Worn Out Tractor Tire

Ready to begin. Only tool needed is a Saws-All The Sidewalls have been removed.
Filling with one layer of well composted cattle manure followed by a layer of sand.  Each layer approx 2 inches thick. Ready for planting after using a shovel and hoe to thoroughly mixing the layers.

    We will be planting sweet onions in the tire. They do better in a rich sandy soil.
