On Friday evening Rick and I had our oh-so-romantic date of grocery shopping. Hey, a date's a date, right? We did go eat at our favorite local restaurant Baja Jack's. Yum!
He and I spent Saturday doing the following:
- Cleaning out the refrigerator
- Cleaning out and organizing the pantry
- Organizing the freezers in the garage
- Buying dirt and mulch and bushes and a few flowers and a few vegetable plants and seed packets
- Preparing the new raised gardening bed for planting
- Planting about 25 new bushes
- Spreading mulch on all of the flower beds
- Planting a few flowers in the beds
- Planting carrots and strawberries and blueberries
- Starting morning glory seeds and re-potting baby tomato plants
Then today I cleaned up a bunch of stuff outside and moved my greenhouse out to the back porch. I cleaned house and planned lessons for this week and inputted grades. Then I got courageous and decided to try to make some Rose of Sharon and Japanese Red Maple starts from cuttings. Then tonight Rick and I made one last run to Lowe's to pick up the last of what we needed (mulch, a couple of new bushes, etc.). Thanks to Lowe's we saved $60 this weekend. And we scored on $2.50 boxwoods. We bought twenty of them, so spent $50. They were regularly $6.98 a piece, so we saved $100 with our $10 off $50 spent coupon. We finally got some gardening areas planted that have sat empty for the last three years.
This was a great weekend!
My weekend was no where near as productive as yours, but it was great. I'll post about it soon; however, your post makes me exhausted! Great accomplishments. You must feel so proud (as you should).
