So today I had my last test for the units in my math class and now all I have left is the final. It makes me a bit nervous but I think that I should be able to do alright, if I can keep under control and not get so nervous that I forget everything. I went over to Western Gardens and picked up some things that they were going to throw away, I got two 75 gallon fish tanks along with two 55 gallon fish tanks. Now I don't have enough room to put everything. hahahaha. After that I went down to Dorothy Brim's house, the lady that has the land that my dad and I are doing the garden in.
I spent about 3 hours raking and picking up weeds and tree limbs and things so that I could spray down the land before we go ahead and plant it all. I am almost ready to start tilling hopefully we can find a big tractor that has a tiller on it because 5200 square feet is a lot of land to till by hand and shovel. The soil is mostly sand though so it should be a cinch and that means more watering as well, sandy soils aren't the greatest for planting in.
After I was done spraying the land down to kill everything on it my dad showed up and we talked a bit and I told him what I wanted to do with the trees and the land and everything else. I think that I want to plant some trees in a few of the rows and then sell them or a pretty penny. I want to get some Japanese Black and White Pines to grow. A 4 year old Japanese Pine sells for about 150 to 200 dollars, so there is a little motivation.
I love working in the garden it is so relaxing just me out there with all of nature and growing living things. It's like they are talking to me and I am communing with them through feelings and thoughts. They know that I am there to take care of them and help them to grow up big and strong. hahaha.
Tonight was my third try at some homemade ice cream. I'm telling you, I am getting pretty good at this thing. I made some raspberry cheese cake and it was absolutely amazing. It was like a little party in my mouth. Hopefully I can reproduce the effects of this and do it again. Now I just need to remember how I did it all.
