Getting the Garden Ready

I've spent this beautiful week getting ready to plant the rest of my garden. I have already planted potatoes, peas, onions, leeks, and shallots. Next week everything else can go in. This means that I need to have the garden ready to be planted. I have been weeding and spreading compost. Does anybody remember that mound of sod that I dug out when claiming more garden space two years ago? Well, having been mixed with some chicken manure and then sitting for two years it is now beautiful compost that I have been using to fertilize the garden. 

From a nuisance to a treasure: Sod that I dug out two years ago has been composting
with some chicken manure and is now ready to be used to fertilize the garden.

The garden, ready for planting.

Garlic, onions, leeks, and shallots

Strawberries in bloom. I expect that some berries will be ripe in time for my birthday (June 28th)

We Have a Roof

The final window is installed, the door is painted, and siding is done on two sides!

Big Progress!

Windows Installed

 Three out of four windows on the tiny house are installed. The last one was back-ordered, and just arrived this morning. Hopefully we can get it installed this week.

In other news, the garlic is up and the grass is starting to turn green. So after four inches of snow earlier this week, spring is (maybe) finally here.

Good evening blog readers, here is a video of one on my original songs called 'Best Left Broken' I hope you enjoy!

On another note, more progress has been made on the tiny house in the past few days. I will hopefully update the blog about that tomorrow.

The House Has a Door!

I have been using this warmer weather to put up more siding and install the door. I expect the windows to arrive later this week, so next on the list is to install them.
