What we have done in the last couple weeks

I am entering a container gardening contest for kids, so we have been working hard at planting tons if different items in whatever we can find!  Here are some pictures.

Different items found at Dollarama, garage sales and in our pile of stuff ready to go to the dump.

Under the weather...

Mom stopping by to make sure he gets a post on today... He was a little worried about it, but is not well, so off to bed he went.

A little hint as to what his special project is.....

OUCH!

Today we did some more planting as the weather got nicer... We got our herbs, tomatoes and pepper planted. We still have the zucchini, pumpkins and tomatoes that we started from seed to plant.

We gathered together our pop bottles and returned them to the depot, and got $36.05 that can go towards our garden projects. So we went to Superstore and picked up some materials for a special project I am working on.

Then my brother stepped on a rake and it hit him right between the eyes... He doesn't think it is funny, but I do!

Ants, Ants, and more Ants

Well I went out to check on the garden today... still really wet and squishy, nothing green growing yet... but we did notice a new ant hill starting... so out came the corn meal! I wanted to try something different, as this is right beside my potatoes...

The first ant hill on the other side of the yard, has seemed to calm down... a few ants, but they are slow and sluggish... The Cayenne Pepper did nothing on those ants, but the icing sugar and borax seem to clear most of them out.... I will probably put more down again tomorrow, and hope it kills the rest off....

Tomorrow the rest of the herbs are going in... and possible the tomatoes and peppers if I get that bed all prepped, but we will see... Our tomato seedlings need more time, so I will leave space for them... but the zucchini seedlings are ready, so if isn't to muddy we will plant them also.
