The house work continues trying to get some of the things we had in Chandler here in Meridian, and that has meant that my wife asked me about garden boxes. We had one small area in the backyard that was fairly flat that I thought I could get some garden boxes into. So, I did…

We have had a weather info screen at our home in Chandler and we brought it here to Idaho when we moved. It showed the basics of inside and outside temperature, humidity, data and time. Well, it had been on the fritz for a while, and not giving reliable data. I decided to look into…

I mentioned last fall that the girls all wanted fruit tress again in our yard. At the time I was able to get a pear and a nectarine tree to put in, along with a raspberry and marionberry bush. Well, the ground has thawed out and it is time for more trees to be planted….
