The Wigglebutt Blog

I've been keeping up with the making of projects and the posting of projects but haven't had a lot of time to blog about projects or anything else for that matter. You'll see why shortly☺ Lets get right to it ~ Did a quicky wrap bracelet for Week 13 Did these little cuties that  match my Week 12 project (mainly because I hadn't taken the time to sort and put away the beads☺)   Then these for Week 15 All of the components in these were part of one of the Bead Soups that didn't get sent off. Now for the garden report. I am trying to plant most of what I am putting in my raised beds  this year from seed. Keep in mind that this is my third year even trying to grow vegetables. The first year was just in the greenhouse. Then last year we put in some raised beds and I think they did very well. This year we're adding more beds Lumber and soil for new beds In addition to the 10 ~ 2x8 beds we already have  w...

And this morning I was greeted by this..... I have lived here for over 20 years and I know  that we will usually get snow in April, but it still feels like Mother Nature is being just a little bit rude. And my weather obsessed hubby informs me that there is a second storm on it's way and it is expected to dump another 12 - 18" of snow  on top of the 8" we got last night:( ~ sigh ~ Even though Spring hasn't actually sprung for us yet, it will get here. Hopefully these will be seedlings ready to plant in about 8 weeks☺ And I will be ready☺

You are probably tired of hearing about the greenhouse  but I gotta share....It is summer after all;~) Time for all things 'gardening'☺ My new rain barrel☺ Since I wasn't keen on having a hose stretched across my driveway all summer or having to stretch it out every time I needed to water the greenhouse, I installed a rain barrel. Already .....LOVE.....IT! It rained all day yesterday and we had to empty some water a couple of times. May have to install an overflow spigot before long☺ Saturday was cool and cloudy but I was able to put these Flowers and veggies waiting to be planted in containers.  Here Here Here And a few here. (This is the perennial garden and I just add a couple new ones each year and hope for the best) Many of the ones planted last year are coming back☺ Once I got the annuals out of the greenhouse it was time to rearrange and get ready for tomato and pepper production (I hope). I don...
