March Showers Bring May Flowers

It hasn't been a particularly pretty Saturday; overcast and slightly chilly, but it was great weather for working outside. We got all the chicken wire up and Bill made a wonderful gate for the garden fence. We also spent some time constructing a small retaining wall in a corner of the garden that is lower than the rest of the garden. We have 1 lateral support left to put up and then all that is left are the pickets. We'll likely knock out a good number of those tomorrow.
I also began transplanting some of the iris's that are in my soon-to-be flower/ herb bed. I hope we will have numerous clusters of iris flowers scattered around the perimeter of the yard in a few months.

When the rain came around 5pm, we called it quits for outside work and decided to plant our starter tray with tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, peppers, watermelon, cantloupe, zucchini, and pumpkin. Those seeds should sprout in the next week or so, and then be ready to go in the garden in about a month.

We are rather worn out now, so I think it's going to be an evening at home with a rented movie and leftover pizza. Perfect!
