It took most of the day but I think I did it and I am so proud of my self. I'm up on Etsy. So why is that news here? This summer I will be putting a full length video of how to make troughs and I will be selling it on Etsy. Right now I am thinking right around the $10.00 range plus shipping and handling (around $4.00 or so) so for like $15.00 you could have a video with all you need to know on how to make a trough. I will be planting seeds tomorrow, and hope to get a video up on that. (So watch for it) I also have to get my porch leveled and set in place so the next snow we get the wood will be protected from the weather. I will put some photos up on that project.
Till next time
Happy Planning

Spring 2010
Spring is here, we might get one more spring snow but for the most part the cold days and nights are over for now.
I harvested some asparagus yesterday, about 3 lbs. Made some wonderful soup with it. It is looking like this year will be good for my asparagus. I have three rows they are 1, 2, and 3 years old so I should get just enough for us.
The elephant garlic has nice leaves on them now, and I have some table garlic that I must have missed last year coming up, so we should get some garlic. The onions have started to show along with some of the raspberry. I have decided to only plant ½ the garden in vegetables this year and the rest in herbs and flowers. I planted some field flowers in a area about 20 x 20 I hope that they come up it should be really nice.
I have planted carrots, beats, Swiss chard, and kale. I hope today I can get the beans, peas, and cabbage in the ground. (I know I am running late on that but that is my life right now)
I had a class on trough making, I think it went well. It looked like everyone learned something and had a good time.
Now I have some troughs that I will have to plant up. I will but flowers and herbs in my troughs. I think that troughs just mix up the garden enough to make it fun. If you haven't made a trough yet you may want to give it a try. Troughs are a fun way to garden.
Till next time
