\"photo<\/a>Today brought more beautiful weather to North Carolina. I had already decided that we needed to spend some time outside doing some yard work. I spent most of the day, trimming our iris and pulling weeds from the flower beds. However the yard work that was most exciting was the “reworking” of our square foot garden.<\/p>\n

I was so excited to start this year as I had great plans to get the most use and some yummy veggies to use all year. That was a plan that did\u00a0achieve it’s greatness. \u00a0First of all the weather has been strange this summer. We have not had our typical hot (90plus) temperatures and also have lacked some in the rain department as well. We have been enjoying tomatoes all summer in addition to lots of green peppers the last couple of weeks. We discovered several nice size watermelons, however the last 3 have rotten before they ripen so I knew we needed to make some changes.\u00a0 First, was a new bed over to the right side in the picture. This will be for squash as they grow really large and take up a lot of sun!\u00a0 Next, Matt added another back stop to use with cherry tomatoes. Cherry tomatoes have been our best and most enjoyed treat this summer so I definitely want to have more of these next year.\u00a0 Finally after some discussion, we moved out watermelon\u00a0 and cantaloupe planters from the back of the deck to the front with the rest of the garden.\u00a0 We hope this will allow them to grow, spread and ripen\u00a0in the future.\u00a0\u00a0I am so proud to say that with all these additions we have not spent any more instead we have used some recycled work. We will need to purchase or hopefully find a piece of wire to complete the backstop.\u00a0 So our only purchase next spring will be some additional dirt to replenish and fill the new and improved beds!<\/p>\n

I will admit this was a lot of work so I plan to enjoy a restful day tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
