Feb 18th

Well, today is shaping up to be a great day.  I woke up on time, had my coffee and checked my morning emails.  I am thinking of making a couple of lean-to type structures to keep my outdoor toys n tools in.  I've know about this site for a while, but http://www.snapclamp.com/ is where I am fixing to order some snapclamps for 1" and 1/2" PVC pipe.  The 1/2" stuff is going to be row covers, and the 1" will be used in the construction of the lean-to's.  I am thinking about doing something similiar to the carport shown on the website except put some walls on it on two sides.  Keep the sun and rain off it at least.

I also forgot to add, I've got 16 strawberry plants set in peat pots filled with worm castings.  I've never had any luck getting strawberries by seed, so this will be a first for me.  I also got 4 cherry tomato plants started.  I am hoping to transplant those into pots and have them on the back patio this year... Either that or I'll try that Topsy-Turvy thing I picked up on clearance at the Home Depot last fall.  $8.99 ... Hm........

More projects for this spring............

  • Build a large clothes hanger for outside.  Use heavy duty 1/2" coated steel braided cable.  It'll help to have somewhere to work if I get a bunch of Cornish Cross's...
  • Put two new leads out for the dogs.  Beast the wonder mutt broke his last one... And Lassie the JRT terror always gets tangled up on hers... what to do what to do......
