A Concocted Mess of Preparations

I know.

I'm betting there will be a bunch of Keebler Elves and Oompa Loompa's out there buckling over in pain from laughing at me over this one.

I guess I'll just have to lower the rack from now on.  And it was not a good idea to leave the damp flour sack towel.

I think I'm becoming obsessive about seeds.

I'm gonna try the " garden in a bag " trick this year to make use of a lot of them this year.

I'm also handing over a bunch to Jennifer so she can grow some of her own!

The warmer days are bringing on more activity around our place.  It's like a slight " hummmm....." sound that keeps waffling - like some precursor in the air - the hint of Spring coming on!

We picked up a torch kit from Tractor Supply.  We're gonna try something different with the garden this year.

We're not doing anymore tilling beyond what the Girls have done for us.

Instead - Dwayne torched dead growth.  We'll be top dressing with mushroom compost - setting up our raised rows - and planting!

Zucker has been wearing his " winter coat " - which makes a huge difference with getting him to go outside and take care of his business - minus the sarcasm.

Unfortunately - he has discovered a new adventure - which seems to provide him with great fun - and a double bonus.  It offers a little bit of paybacks - for the few times he doesn't get his way.

He has discovered how well leaf material will burrow into his soft - curly - coat.  And all he has to do is wrestle around with Carlie for only a few minutes!

I'm assuming he's using this as a test of our love.

And I had to think twice a couple times last night - as I was dumping buckets of water on him in the bathtub.

Zucker will be losing the winter coat today.
