Good weather equals alot of work....RAIN SHOWED UP (edited)

This week has been a whirlwind.  Between getting things ready for work and purchasing fence supplies, I have been busy.  We also worked on the farm truck which is still being weird, but working. 

So bought all the fence supplies for less than $2000.  I had not measured correctly the first time, so Ryan and I went out to measure it again, this time with a 300 ft tape.  This was very helpful and made an accurate measurement.  The total distance we came up with was much less than my original.  So I am happy.

We are supposed to dig post holes this morning.  Fortunatelly we have a friend with a tractor and auger. So for $100 he will be coming by to dig 44 post holes for us, for the corner post.   We decided on tpost for the fence line.  Hopefully those hold up as well as the post we used before.  I think we will use the left over wood post we have for the chicken coop, to put them closer together and make that tighter.   The chicken coop fencing has been bugging me since I put it in with tpost.


We won't be putting any post in the next two days the weather is looking aweful.   I was looking at what else I could do since its raining.  I ordered seeds the other day, hopefully they get here this weekend so I a can start them.  Im really looking forward to trying my hand at starting our own veggies.

Wow. That sgoing to be a good garden! I hope you have an awesome harvest. I know you will definately put in the hard work to earn it. You go girl! Wish I had room to do it. We do good to have tomatoes in the backyard. I am thinking I may just plant another flower garden this year though as it really makes me so happy and at peace when they bloom. Peace is good! :) be blessed Cyndi
