I did a big project that require lots of stone a few years ago and I had a broken back every night. I can't believe I did it but you just have to move forward. I love your before and afters.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04232693432045335251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2901575098558141612.post-27783764943797277642011-03-23T23:04:08.503-07:002011-03-23T23:04:08.503-07:00That garden area looks awesome, I'm so jealous...That garden area looks awesome, I'm so jealous! I have only a few areas of full sun in my garden, we have lots of lots of trees blocking the sunlight. PS, yes aspargus plants takes 2 years to develop asparagus spears. I planted mine last year so I'm praying that we get spears this year. However, it snowed today, and I hope that didn't kill off the baby spears I saw in the ground.

I've been so lazy around the house (and garden). When you're done feel free to come sift my yard as well... though I highly doubt you'll take me up on that one. Maybe this year I'll get it all cleaned up so I can actually work on it. Can't wait to see your fruits and veggies this year! That's alot of ground to work with!Amy Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06655798454280483105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2901575098558141612.post-51440434427472170452011-03-21T08:31:28.491-07:002011-03-21T08:31:28.491-07:00Well, talk about busy!

I think you have the right idea about having kids and letting them do the work, the only problem with kids is, they grow up and leave you when you're old and really could use 'em. (I guess maybe that's where grandkids come in handy?)<br /><br />After moving all that clay and rock, no wonder you are stiff and sore, it tired me out looking at it from here. Be very careful with the rock collecting, look what it led to around here....Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18368318730124533690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2901575098558141612.post-49656690927888789022011-03-20T14:31:54.495-07:002011-03-20T14:31:54.495-07:00I'm so glad to see all the progress you're...I'm so glad to see all the progress you're making on your house and garden. You've started painting your kitchen cabinets -- WooHoo! They will look great!<br /><br />Love the big, bright, cheerful Crocus flowers. Congrats on all that sifting, that's hard work! Hope you find a use for all the small rocks. Big ones are always welcome accents in the garden. You might have saved yourselves some work just building raised beds.<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing what you grow in the veggie garden this year.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323262555906240701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2901575098558141612.post-83323871052043936822011-03-20T14:30:05.633-07:002011-03-20T14:30:05.633-07:00You have been very busy and making lots of progres...You have been very busy and making lots of progress! I keep forgetting to mention that we live in the same town. Maybe everyone around here has that same yucky clay soil full of rocks. I think you're smart digging out the old soil and mixing in new. That's what we are trying to do with our front yard. I've read manure and compost are both good for breaking down clay.<br />I'll bet you'll be so happy when those cupboards doors are hanging in the kitchen. That's been a lot of work.Catherine@AGardenerinProgresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05001060769253273283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2901575098558141612.post-74449510347711013422011-03-20T12:41:11.530-07:002011-03-20T12:41:11.530-07:00Yea on the cupboards!

See if you can find some straw or something to put in under the "good soil" to invite the earth worms to your garden. They'll feed the plants. <br />I like the big rock. You'll find places to tuck those in. I have a piece of limestone just covered with shell fossils. I had to have it and now it lives by my butterfly bush.Gardener on Sherlock Streethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11367115529793643362noreply@blogger.com
