*** Project *** (part 2 )

Laying down heavy black roofing felt I held it in place with some boards, cinder blocks, and bricks. The tilling is completed waiting for the soil temperature to be about 60 degrees. We also have a cold front moving in over the weekend. It is still a bit early for North Iowa.

I am so glad it is just down to planting the seeds. This took way longer, with more setbacks than I ever imagined. My desire for fresh veggies took a toll on me, more Oxys, and pain meds to get it done, however picking fresh green beans and shelling home grown peas, not to mention the beets and carrots to dig later in the summer season.

April 11 marks many years since JD & I got together.

It was only 42F here today, cloudy, mostly calm. Calgary is getting snow tonight. We might get flurries or showers tomorrow.
Yesterday we had such a strong W wind that the furniture was dancing around on the E deck while we were sitting on it. It was pretty frightening; I thought a tornado was coming, but it was just a super strong gust.

I hope so Roger. I am stile torn between planting or waiting. I just need to weight the advantages of getting the seeds in the ground and the dismal weather forecasted for us.
