We've actually been having some lovely weather these past two weeks, so I'm kind of regretting tearing out so many of the plants. <br /><br />I've kind of hit a writer's block, so I'm stepping away from it for a bit. I'm still here though, and yes, spending as much time as I can spoiling that new baby! I'm quite bored now, what with no blogging and no gardening, so I'm trying to think of a winter project to keep me busy. So far it has been bread baking, but I must keep that under control because what I bake we eat, and we don't need all that much bread!

Her mama is Mexican/Caucasian, and her father is Laotian. She's just a perfect mix of the three. I got to spoil her rotten a couple of times this week. Darned near kissed the top of her head bald, and got lots of rocking chair time in, LOL!<br /><br />I hauled an entire yard of cow poo into the garden (a bucket full at a time) this summer/fall, I also spread on a lot of chopped leaves through the season, and expect to add more before winter. The soil is looking pretty good, but plagued by nematodes and wireworms. I solarized a bed to hopefully grow decent carrots in next year. This year was a real bust as far as the carrots were concerned.<br />Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-40867062750763706342013-10-21T20:51:43.520-07:002013-10-21T20:51:43.520-07:00Hey Gran, thanks so much for checking out my new b...Hey Gran, thanks so much for checking out my new blog.

I also have problems with leaf miners here, so I plan on making two more small structures for next year, but will staple tulle to them to keep out the leaf miner flies. I've been using the tulle just clipped to supports, but it's a pain to have to remove and replace all the time. The long box, with a light weight removable top would simplify it somewhat.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-24391818034766596172013-10-12T00:48:53.496-07:002013-10-12T00:48:53.496-07:00I love the wire cage things.
