Ah... I love this time of year! The trees are budding and plants growing and everything has hope!
Even in MY yard!
I got the potato plants started. Taking Practical Parsimony's advice, I did NOT put it in the hole, but rather raised them up a little with some posts that I had rotting in the yard.
I'll make do with ANYTHING!
The hole is underneath and I filled it up with the dirt pile from the front yard.
Lots more projects planned for that dirt...
And looking around my yard, taking into consideration the most difficult spots to mow, I have a huge project of fixing the yard this summer. There is a LOT to do... To start off with, (leaving the fire pit project off for a week or three) I need to plant two grape bushes! Not sure if they're grape vines. I don't have much experience with growing grapes and it doesn't say on the packaging. I picked them up at Lowes for a smidge under $10 each. One with seedless red grapes and the other seedless green grapes.
They will be planted to the right of these potato bags under my living room window.
I'll have my own little vineyard!!!
Not that I drink much.
I guess I'll make a lot of grape juice or just eat them straight off the plant.
If for some reason they ferment, so be it... I'll eat/drink them too.
waste not, want now.
Eventually, I want to rebuild this area into a mini deck.
I've got lots of plans for this little corner of the yard/world.
And of course, all it takes is a wee bit of money.
Oh well. I'll keep on the lookout for free bricks and mulch.

We are also doing lots of projects inside and out. A good time to do so, I think. I need to keep busy. I still have teaching, but obviously it is not the same. It doesn't take up my entire day anymore.
God job keeping the bags from sitting in a hole. I think grapes are always vines. Just put something up for them to grow into and next year a wire across two posts for them to run. And, be prepared to fight the birds or put up netting. Such fun. I have projects, too.
