Gardening,

We've been trying to get the garden ready for planting and we should be ready to plant this week. yesterday we went and got the stuff for the fencing and hubby and his uncle worked on it yesterday and today. Once the fencing is up we have to get some rocks out of the garden (and wow there is whole lot of rocks in that one section) and then we can plant.

I made a double batch of tuna casserole last week and froze half. Since the guys are up there slaving away, I don't have an opportunity to be in the kitchen (the kids, especially the little guy, get into stuff). So I popped the frozen casserole in the oven to defrost and cook. It should be done soon. I will have to share later me recipe for making tuna casserole with a white sauce.

Tonight I need to cook up several pounds of meat and freeze them. I also need to cut up onions and peppers and get those froze. I do this so that dinner time is easier and quicker.

I am not sure how much time I will have to post on here in the next 2 weeks. This week is the last week of classes and I have a big programming assignment due on Thursday. Then next week I have an exam on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Then I am done. So I will be busy busy busy!!

Ok. Off to check on my casserole. Leave me a comment.

BREAKING GROUND ON OUR NEW GARDEN

I am SO exhausted! We went up to our land and started getting our garden ready. It's a new garden so we also have to get rid of the sod!! How I wish we had rented a sod remover first and then the rotatiller. It's going to be quite a bit of work to get that sod out of there. But we will get it done this week.

The stupid rotatiller cord broke while hubby was tilling the ground. He had about 3 or 4 more rows that he needed to do a second and third pass on. So, we were pretty close to getting it done. He tried to fix it, but it didn't work. Of course, he can't move this monster of a machine, because it won't roll unless you have it started up. And there is no way someone is going to pick that thing up! LOL. So, tomorrow morning he is off to the rental place to find out what they want to do about it.

The kids had a blast too. Little princess was having so much fun digging in the dirt and my older son kept having to chase after the little guy because he didn't stay in one place for long. LOL. Of course, there we were on 14 acres (our land plus hubby's uncle's) that he could roam around on and all he wanted to do was go up and down the steps! LOL.

I am hoping we will be able to get our vegetables planted sometime this week and then we will be putting up a fence around the garden - so the bunnies and especially the deer don't eat our food. I am dead tired and ready to go to bed. It's not even 11 o'clock yet. That's crazy for me. I am usually one of those people who stay up until 1 or 2 in the morning. So, off to bed I go. Hope everyone had a wonderful day (and enjoyed the beautiful weather if you live in the Northeast). Good night!
