Beauty In The Belly Of The Beast

Last nights mashed potatoes, waldorf salad, fresh baked bread and cider. I had opened up a bottle of wine that I'd had for a while...no good! Next best thing on hand - sparkling cider. I decided I didn't want to break out the fancy because clean-up would take forever because none of it can go in the dishwasher.
The beast on my plate ready for my belly.

This is our major spring project. My husband and I were talking about an idea he had - get rid of these boxes, the pointless thin strip of grass, and make this all part of a vegetable garden that wraps around the rest of the yard. This is a huge undertaking and I'm nervous of the time it will take to get this ready, especially because it needs to be done like..yesturday. This also includes removing the trees in the back. Long sigh.


There used to be a pond and a large rock waterfall here. The work that went into getting this space to look like this is astounding. We are gonna pull the rose bushes, and hopefully transplant them to another area we have in mind and see if we can revive them to their original beauty. We are also planning on moving the light that was next to the pond, onto the edge of the garden and walkway to give better light, Mark already dug to find where the wiring goes so this should be super easy, just a bit time consuming. This will all be vegebables if we get out asses moving soon.

Trillium. I have these in 2 areas of the garden that are coupled with 2 different kinds of ferms. I plan on clearing those areas so that they have more room to breath. That won't take too long, it's really just clearing away the dead.

Daffodils blooming in the front garden. I also have these on the side of the house. In a couple of weeks, I will have so many of these I'll have to start cutting them and putting them on the table.
