fuzzi is Transplanted in Eastern NC!

Here's some photos of our original raised bed garden, from about 15 years ago.

My dh used to till it for me with a Mantis.

Checking in...

My dh declined in mid December, went Home (to Jesus) in January. I've been busy handling things, now am getting back to regular house and yard stuff.

About 8 months after I purchased them I set up two rainbarrels. We had one inch of rain and they both overflowed!

I have two more to set up. Soon.

This was where my garden was about ten years ago. It was beyond me.

Here comes Frank and his Bobcat.

Much better!

I will be planting blueberry bushes and a couple elderberry bushes, too. It's been cold and wet, so loosening and amending the soil is running behind.

Three different varieties are waiting...

I transplanted iris into a new bed last year. They'd not bloomed in years, I was hoping the location is better.

Looks like it is!

Cold or not I am heading outside to get something done.

Thanks for stopping by.

I am so VERY SORRY for your loss!
I love your rain barrel set up!
I, too have a rain barrel, in it's box in the garage, in front of where I park MY car, so I won't lose it.
I plan to set it up to the downspout on the SE corner of the house and run a 50 ft hose directly into the opening of my cistern.
Where does your hose go? It's hard to see in your photo.
OH, I have never seen Amaryllis living outside and flowering in somebody's garden bed!!
We really have a lot colder climate that YOU do, bc I won't put mine outside until at least Mother's Day--too cold here!
