Working Hard(ly) with Hubby

I got so much done in my garden this week.

Except that Hubby did a lot of it.

Which is probably why he's limping around like an old man with a bad back.

Way to take one for the team Hubs...
I'll make you an extra big pot of Squash Parmesan this summer. Extra cheesy....

It all started when...
I got home from work with big intentions to play this past Saturday and basically bounced around the house begging Hubby to go out and help me move around my potting table so I could tweak it a bit. He grumbled his little affirmative response and went to gather tools in the basement.
And told me that the drill would have to charge...
For like FIFTEEN minutes!

So I bounced around a little bit more but we were FINALLY ready to go outside.

And when I got there, I turned right back around and went inside.

Because there were some HURRICANE winds blowing around out there, and no matter how warm 55 degrees actually is, it felt more like zero.

But two long sleeve shirts, a Phillies sweatshirt (represent!) and my sweatpants tucked in to two pairs of socks and my boots, and I was ready.
We probably could have charged the drill a little longer...

But we screwed the mantle piece in to my potting bench so it was a little more secure and added chicken wire...
TADA....

Now I can hang tools all over it with 'S' hooks...

 I bent a wire hanger to hold my twine spool...

 And slipped the little scissors on there so they'd be ready to go...
I'm totally in love.

And earlier in the week, I repotted those dwarf apple trees in to something a bit sturdier and deeper...

 I added SIX potato towers in my garden this year, but only have potatoes growing in half of them right now. I'll slip in to my local Amish store and pick up a few more this week...

 I got to use the fun little garden markers from the antique store...

 I planted my onions....

 Hubby started digging holes for my garden gate (insert REALLY LOUD squeal)
(And maybe one day I'll have a fence to go with it. ;)  )

 I put my ladder trellises out for the winter squash to climb on in the new beds I made with black edging material and all the little rocks I dig up in my garden area. I added a layer of compost and manure and blended it in with the soil...

 And planted my snap peas...

 And dwarf kale (thanks Father-in-law!)

 And some dinosaur kale... (rarr)
 

 

And sat and stared at it all. I can't wait to see little green things popping up!

I already have herbs, but those cute little rows of baby greenery just melt my heart each time....

 

What have you planted or worked on so far?
