So yesterday was the day our government decided to torture us by forcing the majority of the nation to wake up an hour earlier. You know what, I don't care because it means SPRING IT ALMOST HERE!!!
We couldn't be happier after last week's freeze. On Saturday it was 80 degrees then the temperature dropped Sunday and Sunday night it started sleeting. In this picture Nathan is ice skating Monday afternoon. There is no snow on the ground, it's all ice. The roads were so slick in the five mile radius around our house that my husband was very nervous driving to work. All up and down the highways trees are split or fallen because Texas trees are not used to so much weight from ice.
Hopefully there won't be any more hard freezes before spring!
Our garden is almost ready for planting. I have many seeds sprouting indoors right now but I have refused to plant anything in the garden before the fence is complete. It's not complete yet, but nearly. It's the main goal for this week.
The back of it is finished but the front is not. We haven't gotten the chicken wire around it yet either. We use it to keep rabbits and chickens out. But the chickens are penned this time. The goal: 72 tomato plants, 12 jalapenos, 12 bell peppers, 12 banana peppers, 12 kale, 12 spinach, 12 lettuce, 12 broccoli, many cucumbers, many carrots and 80+ onions. We are also starting a fig bush, a raspberry plant and a blueberry plant. I hope to get a few more each of those. Possibly a little ambitious. Oh! I almost forgot the 12 green beans! Those are very important.
