You have a nice garden and it looks like you spend a lot of time in it! We have a gooseberry bush and make pies from it.

Tires are usually free. Dh fills the tire with his soil mix that works up easy regardless of the weather. Planted the Yukon gold potatoes on March 17th; peas were next to have creamed peas and fresh potatoes together. Also plant different plants together, e.i.,tomatoes and sweet potatoes, Yukon Gold and cucumbers, tomato and peppers.

We have planted over 80 trees since we retired in 2005; orchard is heavy with fruit this year. Love the thornless Boysenberries and heirage red raspberries. And the flower beds in our front yard. Tomatoes are Roma IIs that make up buckets of juice easily and quickly.
