Green & Brown Thumbs.

So it has been awhile since we have posted anything on here.  I guess we, OK, me (Birdie) has been spending too much free time on other forums (hello Insta-post way too many pictures-Gram) and just plain getting used to living somewhere other than the desert.

But, don't fret, we are alive and well in the rolling green hills of East Texas!

 
These days we are currently working on building and planting a raised garden.  To some, this is an easy task- till the ground, throw out some seed, water it, pray it takes... but not for us (one of us is a classic type A personality so nothing is "easy").  I think we have green and brown thumbs.  One of this thinks it will all grow, the other is a little skeptical of the whole project.

So far our project has consisted of buying beautiful wood, agreeing on a design, building six 4ft x 4ft custom raised garden boxes, laying out a fence, building a fence, adding a dog run (of course Biscuit needs his own area to watch from!) and sealing the newly made garden boxes.  Tired yet?

 

Next step:buying organic soil and compost.  We haven't even gotten to the timed watering system or purchasing of hybrid/organic non GMO seeds yet!  I will admit, this is a longer process than I anticipated for our new "hobby".  So far, we are doing good and are moving along. 

Perhaps we will have the basics ready before we miss this planting season! 

Fingers crossed.
