I don't think I would make much of an actual Farmer. I get tired just being a gardener. Hilarious!

Today I dug up the backyard Tall Bearded Iris and relocated the healthy plants and threw away the rotting ones. It was a bigger job than I had thought it would be. But now the garden space is cleared, the iris replanted and the newly made veggie bed is mulched with straw. Next year I will be planting my pepper plants here. I laid out and measured, 6 rows fit so 6 rows it will be! Plus two more cucumber trellis sections so I can grow more cucumbers. I want to add more cukes next year. And I absolutely had to find a spot that works well for peppers. This years mish mash approach of pepper plants scattered around here and there was not overly successful.

So I am happy with my work today but already tired. Hilarious!
