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!

I trust you used the sticky traps to imobilize them, so you could dispatch them with the BB gun? ha

So is the garden planted, Farmer Jones? Or have you been slacking off on the weekends, drinking Berry Weiss and watching NASCAR?
Exactly, I used the sticky traps to make sure they couldn't hide in the far corners of the attic. Saved me from having to crawl across the rafters on my kneees.
