Is it time to tidy up your flower beds?

Joan and I are continuing the springtime clean up in our garden, around our townhouse.

We trimmed back the massive Jade plant in the front walkway that had taken over the front-door path. We filled the large green garbage can for Thursday pickup.

In the back garden we continued trimming geraniums, jade, baby tears, dandelions, grass, and succulents, to fit back into the boarders. The garden is looking much better.

The new tomato planter box is exactly right for our tomatoes. Due to our heat spell & plenty of water, the tomatoes are thriving. I am watering the whole garden daily to keep up with the heat.

My latest DIY project is a small 5-gallon bucket compost bin. Using kitchen scrapes to feed the bin, I look forward to making our soil rich and loamy. Soil able to support any new planting.

Always glad to hear about your DIY projects. Drop me a line. God bless and protect you all.

See you on the other side of this trying time.

My tomatoes are growing and thriving! How about yours?

It is wonderful what potting soil, sunlight and plenty of water can do for tomatoes. This is the first time my tomato plants have survived, let alone flourished. 

I have been cruising through YouTube videos for lessons about raising tomatoes. I now support the plants with string, add a liter of water at night, break off suckers, and soak thoroughly twice a week. I have many thumb size green tomatoes on the vine.

In years past, I lost my crops from neglect, more concerned with client work and other distractions. This year, Shelter-In-Place (SIP) has allowed me to spend much more time on gardening, DIY projects and tidy up tasks. My work truck is very thankful!

Although I get satisfaction doing DIY projects, my real calling is helping clients with their handyman and electrical needs. As an extrovert, I enjoy conversations with my clients about many varying subjects. These days, talking to myself is just not the same as finding out about you all, nor the same as talking to and working with my clients on their needs.

So, what fruits and veggies do you have in your garden? Let’s compare notes.

Always glad to hear how you are doing. Drop me a line. God bless and protect you all.
