Crazy2b Adventures and OrdealsWell, despite the current heat wave, my twice-daily watering routine looks like it’s working. My roses are looking absolutely fabulous. Who knew I had such a green thumb? It’s either my dedication or the fact that the roses are just too stubborn to let a little heat get them down!
This week, I happened to be on standby, so I decided to use some company fuel and head north to one of our sites to pick up more spruce trees. With Turd in the passenger seat, we set off. Despite a few rain showers along the way, we arrived at the station.
I grabbed gloves and a shovel and started digging. Before long, I had 18 little spruce trees loaded in the back of the company truck. We headed back home to plant them in their new home. It was a quick but successful trip.
Today, I decided to head down to the farm and help Matthew plant his garden. I packed a few beers and the new drone, then set off south. When we tried to start the rototiller borrowed from Auntie Marianne, we pulled and pulled until it finally sputtered to life, though it didn’t sound great.
Matthew managed one pass down the garden before the connecting rod broke and punched a hole in the crankcase, rendering the tiller useless. Fortunately, he had sprayed the garden a couple of weeks ago and had managed to work the soil last night.
We grabbed the seeds and began planting (with a beers along the way). Now, it’s up to Mother Nature!
Okay mother nature, work your magic, water my trees!!!🌲
March 17th heralds the arrival of the spring thaw, albeit briefly. Unfortunately, a cooldown is expected in the coming days. I’m hoping the cooler weather will provide some relief for my trees from the floodwaters they’ve been enduring.
Embrace the whispers of spring’s arrival, for with each bloom, new beginnings unfold and hope takes flight
Well, the tree growth over the last 7 years has been slowly starting to hide my flag … so it was time to add some extensions to get the flag back up above the trees 🌲 🌳
Hopefully, the wind doesn’t get the best of it !!
🌴 Super excited to get it started!! 🌴
They look REALLY REALLY GOOD 😀
Some of the many spruce trees that brother Jim bought me a couple years back!! Finally, looking amazing!!
The time has come to uncover some of my roses!! Awesome!! There is green under all those insulating leaves!!
With the warmer weather upon us I get the itch to plant and nurture a few more trees! So, up early and off we go! Time to transplant another 20+ trees onto the acreage. The weather was a little cloudy which made for a excellent retrieval. Not so HOT! These little babies came from just north of Burntstick Lake. A busy little road pointed us right to the perfect location. A power line right-of-way where the trees would either be mowed or sprayed. Our new additions won’t know what hit them with the extra care and attention that they are going to receive.
The warm weather is upon us and this time of year is so optimistic. You work the flowerbeds, you uncover the roses, you plant a few bulbs and hope for the best! The rest is up to Mother Nature 🤔
This year I’m going to try and propagate my red roses 🌹! I guess I will find out whether it will work or not in about a month 😀
