Gorgeous Jlmann!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE it....

We're going outside to get drunk and play in the garden for the evening.... I wonder how bad everything will look in the morning then. :/

Oh well... if my garden can't survive me drinking, its in for a reality check. :lol:

vfem- Don't worry! Gardens can survive a lot of drunkenness. Not the best time to be pruning stuff though. We keep a table and some chairs down by our garden and when it is pretty out we drive down there. The wife and I have a few drinks and listen to the radio. Our son plays on his swing set and in his "garden" and we spread a big quilt out and let baby roll around on it. We pick veggies when they are ready, water a little and watch the chickens & guineas chase bugs. Good times!

mattmatts-momma : Nice garden! Is that a cabbage or cauliflower in the first picture? What kind is it? You are way ahead of me - I won't be able to plant tomatoes and the rest of my summer crops until at least Monday. Keep us posted! I can't wait to see how your black krim tomatoes turn out!

Here is my post to another thread of results of our 1st Open Day :woot

Ok Gang Here I was finally able to upload my photos this time.
Well with only 1 ad in the local free shopper paper Wind was bad enough we didn't set out plants or our road side signs. Even with that, We still had a $200.00 day :celebrate That is after costs :woot For this small rural area I feel that was pretty good. Everyone commented on how healthy and big our tomato and cold weather plants looked :clap So many were impressed with DH's Greenhouse and marveled at the fence garden. DH calls it the horazontal (sp?) garden I believe we will busy tomorrow also :weee We both have really are LOVING THIS :love :love

Oh, here are the photos .....
This one is how we used the other 5 pallets, imanage these covered with plants. Oh and the trailer has cabbage, broccoli, brussel sprout, and kollirobi plants on it.

Here is our instant fence. This is just 2 of the pallets, they are 10 feet long. We left a 2 foot space between the 2 sections and they over lap. That way we still have a passage through with out building a gate. :celebrate

Well I must go out and pot up a few more boots. DH was surprized that I had sold 1 of my old worn out boots with impatient and ivy potted in it :gig :woot

THANKS SO MUCH FOR ALL THE WELL WISHES
