Finally, the garden is started

I worked my tail off on Saturday, since the weather gave me a one day window to get some veggies in the ground.

I planted 25 sq. ft. each of Swiss Chard, head lettuce, mesclun greens, and mixed radishes and carrots. I also put in 225 onion plants and around 120 hills of potatoes. My gardening muscles were definitely out of shape, I was so sore yesterday that I could hardly move.

This weekend also saw the extermination of a family of squirrels that had decided to occupy the attic above our front porch. My rusty, trusty, Daisy BB gun made quick work of them, with the help of a couple of glue traps.

If the weather cooperates I should get more seeds in the ground this week so that I don't fall too far behind last year's pace.

Hope all you moms out there had a great Mother's Day!
