Garden Whipping! - Updated: pg21

Well..........I ripped the pond apart today and redug the hole. Ouch! It looks a lot better now.

Oh yeah, it was 90 F outside today. Hot!!
 
Just read about your family gardening weekend. My families live a little too far away for semi-spontaneous gardening weekends. My in-laws have planted some things after seeing our garden during their spring break, and my mom was talking about putting in tomatoes, but then busted her knee and collarbone pruning a tree (she fell from the ladder). I grew up with grandparents who grew everything one could ever imagine, so it's no surprise I turned out the way I did,... but my father apparently doesn't get my love of gardening - he mentioned to my mom that he thought it was strange I was growing all those veggies in my backyard! Imagine next year, when I plan on expanding!

Anyways, I thought it was really neat that you and your mom and grandma shared such a special weekend. It makes me want to move closer to family (athough that would mean abandoning my "perfect" zone). :P

Can't wait to see the changes with the pond.
 
Ugh! It's TOO hot to work outside today. 89 F degrees and 30 mph winds.
*sigh*The weather is so weird - it was 30 F degrees on Friday and Sat. While picking rocks, one of my friends got frostbite on his face on Sat.

I guess our 2 weeks of spring are over.
 
Wow... you redid that pond?! OH MY! OUCH!

So where are the nice pics to make me jealous?! ;)
 
Update: Well, after getting a really bad sunburn on my back (judging from the reaction of everyone that saw it :sick ), the day I dug the pond, I took a day off. Today I finally got the waterfall running. It still needs some work :D
