MAJOR WINDS CAUSE MINOR DISASTER
Pine Tree Post | Garden Update
Whipping winds caused a bit of stir in the garden last week by snapping some support strings causing the PUTP's prize winning raspberry bushes to fall over! Luckily, there was only minor damage. The canes have been strung back up, tied to supporting poles with new rope. These poles were then lashed to the fence for extra support. If this year's weather is going to be windy, the PUTP will be ready for it.

Other than the raspberries, it has been a very slow start in the rest of the garden. The kale is sprouting near a small pitstop the Fairies can use on their way back to the
Fairy house.

Although, this weekend saw the most gardening activity in weeks with the planting of the tomato plants. Only one set of little hands, lil' Oskie's, were around to help. Gardening is not a chore to him.

Lettuce is leafing, Zucchini are zucching...the garden is in good hands.
Happy to hear those raspberry bushes didn't suffer too much damage. That is one happy garden helper you have there :)
ReplyDeleteHope you guys have a great weekend.
Thanks Kim, the other kids have started having a bit of social life and were not around when the tomatoes went in. Oskie seems more than happy to take over for them though. :)
