I just ordered more straw to mulch my garden. My potato's have grown very tall, and need to be covered. I also began covering all my garden beds with straw to help keep in the moister. I'm worried that the plants may get too dry when we go on vacation. I have people who will look after things for me, but you never know how well they will care for the garden. And know one is going to want to water 2 times a day if we happen to get a dry spell. Right now it's been raining, and water is no problem at all. But mulch is great for the soil. So I'm trying to mulch everything. It's what I learned from the "back to Eden" movie. Mulch is like the skin of the soil. The organisms in the soil with dry up and die without cover. Live soil feeds plants. Nothing grows well when the soil is dried out. So I used up my first 7 bales of straw and I ordered 5 more. It's great stuff! Under the straw everything stays nice and cool! I bet the worms love it!
My niece had a beautiful baby girl named Olivia Rose (Beautiful name). Everyone is very excited and thank God healthy! Congratulations to the whole family! Hugs to my sister Shelley who is now a proud grandma for the 2nd time. My sister Dianna has 6 grand kids (I think). My brother and I are too young for such an blessing. At least our kids are too young. I'm going to have to wait to be called grandma. Here is a cool picture I took off Shelley's blog. It shows Eric (the tired but proud grandpa) Lissa with her first daughter Charlotte, and then a sleeping Olivia Rose. 3 generations in one shot. How fast life goes by! How beautiful life can be!
