Last years harvest was horrible. I neglected my garden and plants because of my retirement and working extra hours training my replacement. This year I want to make the yard look better. Nothing extra in terms of plants.
I am going to rip up all plastic border materials and toss them into trash. I will go with natural borders using a half moon spade. I got a book on making ones own concrete garden ornaments and hypertufas. My intentions is making my own custom made patio blocks for pathways ( this is an experiment and short lived since money is tight this year ).
Next month Bessy will have her calf and I will learn all about making my own cheese, yogurt and ice cream. Cheese making equipment is not cheap, I hope it is not a wallet breaker. The way food prices are now with high gas prices, I may be in good shape for the coming years.
I will continue my personal studies on mathematics and get some books on computer modeling techniques. This is how I am planning my summer.
