May 28, 2009: Cutting up under the Apple tree in the front

I cut some of the tall grass up in the east corner of the front yard last night and laid the cutting in the path and dollop under the tree.

I also made a fence trellis for the wild grape vines and tied some up to it. I'm not sure if they are going to like this. We'll see...

May 28, 2009: Replanting

We replanted the tomatoes and peppers last night. Hopefully it'll warm up and we won't have another frost (I'll cover them this time).

May 19, 2009: Frost last night

Looks like we might have lost the Tomatoes and Peppers in a frost last night. This morning they looked alright but when I came home from work they were all wilted. I gave them shot of manure tea and watered them. We'll see if they come back during these next few days of warm weather.
