Geenhouse Hop!

My friend P.F. & I did this yesterday!

We hit, Fern's Greenhouse, which is about an hour and a half away near Jean Dore Prairie. I bought the Laurel Leaf Willow I've been looking for! Yea, I KNOW it needs a LOT of room! 40 ft. to be exact....up and out! Got the perfect spot! It's outside now getting aclimatized! It DID NOT enjoy the ride in the car!      I also got some vegies for the salsa garden!

We had lunch in PR.

Out to Trees & Lilies, where I picked up 2 Blueberry Bushes! Why would I want to leave home when I can do all my berry picking here! Not sure where I'll plant them, but it'll be nice to someday not have to go far for Blueberries or Saskatoons! And, my saskatoons have flowers on them! Hopefully there's at least enough for a pie or 2!
Then on to Cottonwood Greenhouse. I bought a Russian Olive that was on sale because it was last years! HELLLLLOOOO! She wintered it, so I know it's gonna grow here!
So I almost have everything I need this year!
Just want to get a couple more peppers when we go to Dunvagan Gardens this week with my peeps.

I'm not a really good pot person!
I have 5 pots on my little deck and that's it....I'm a horrible waterer! I can't be bothered dragging the hose or watering can around, so most plants have to be self sufficiant!
We saw a HUGE dust devil in our travels!

And these guys. (Or girls)

Awful hey! I was going to look tics up, to see how they can get rid of them, or if they just die:(

Also, woke up to shadow barking frantically from the step.

When she doesn't leave the step, you know something's in her yard!

So went out on to the little deck, and put my sandals on and walked over to where she was.

Coyote on the north side of the dugout!

Had to come in the same door I went out, cause the closest one was locked,

get the gun, and trot outside AGAIN!

The coyote was tearing up the pasture already....seen me the first time!

So, Shadow went over to where it was, and retrieved a furry critter!

Dead of course.

We thought it was a baby coyote, but when Ray went outside, we decided it was our white cat.

We might just be down to the 3 that have been here for 4/5 years, and one of last years kittens!

It's kind of damage control!

Hakuna Matata! It's the Circle of Life!

Don't mean to sound callous, but we DO NOT NEED 5 to 10 cats!

I planted the potatoes today!

41 unhills! I plant them to China, as Ray says, because they're in raised beds,

and we can't hill them.....so I just plant them deep!

I DID want an even number, but apparently I can't count and had an extra!

No damn way am I throwing it out!

I wanted to clean my car, you know, because of the dirt and all from hauling a car load of greenhouse plants, but it tried to rain several times, and I didn't want to have to race the vacum cleaner in!

I HAVE to find bags for it! I'm on the last one. Maybe online somewhere!

Better go, hope you had a great weekend!

Ta ta for now!
