This morning my dad came to pick me up and we headed to McMinnville. We went by a nurshery that we visited with my father-in-law last week and bought some trees. Next we stopped at Co-op for some fertilizer. The weather was lovely and the drive amazing. Pretty much all the trees were green, with the exception of dogwoods and redbuds. At the cottage my dad already had eight holes dug. We just had to expand them and add a couple more. After planting we napped, then went to see the baby goats. They were frisky! Dinner was at the new(ish) Jesse’s Grill in Monteagle.

Been doing lots of research and reading in order to have a productive garden this year. I hope to order seeds by the end of tomorrow. It looks like we’ll be focusing on pumpkins, carrots, beets, cauliflower, okra, and green beans. And three varieties of watermelon. I have made a big spreadsheet to keep track of everything. I think we will grow some things in containers, so I am also looking for cheap pots, instead of building my own planters. Also need to find a good source of potting soil. Need to build fencing as well, to keep out the deer. Now I know why people just go to the supermarket.
