A wonderful Sunday with Joe and the Pugs..

This past Sunday was a nice sunny day although a little on the windy side. Joe and I thought it would be the best time to prune and tend to our gardens since the next week is going to be pretty much on and off rain. Joe cleaned out some beds and put down some grass seed to fill in the bare spots of the lawn we planted last year where the veggie garden and part of the flower bed used to be. I heavily pruned our butterfly bush. We have a lot of outdoor projects this next month to get ready for the summer. It includes making a few raised beds down the hill. One veggie and one raspberry bed. We planted three blueberry bushes a few weeks back along with two apple trees and one nectarine tree. We also bought some organic bug spray because the man at the nursery said they would not do to well unless we sprayed them. We went the most natural route. I hope they do well.

Our three new blueberry bushes.
