I thought so. Just checking something wasn't trying to mess with my fruit trees! Getting all protective any more in my old age! Thanks

I will show you my snow garden after the storm.The least you could do is show us a pic of how pretty you plowed the snow...
Thank you! We just got the onions out. My 2 youngest grandaugthers are coming next week and will enjoy helping me plant my beets and tomatoes.@NannyPatty sounds like you got your planting done despite it all and it doesn't matter how funny it may have looked to others
Sometimes I get things wrong, it happens with old age. I try to post back when I do. Again, thank you for your kind words.
So. What I've done is realized 6in under the good soil on the top it's Clay. So I have a subsoiler that will rip about 18 in deep so I ran it through the entire both plots. Then I've bought cow manure compost mix garden soil and peat moss and I will amend the soil as necessary for each particular vegetable or herb. Hopefully that'll do the job. I'm pretty good at doing a lot of reading don't know a lot yet but always willing to learn and reading the right Publications makes a heck of a difference. And of course with the tutelage from here same things are easier and hopefully will go well. Thanks
As for me peanut. I very much enjoy your post, I appreciate your knowledge and I appreciate you sharing it. And quite frankly I've never really cared much what other people think. Keep posting brother thank youThank you for your kind words from the bottom of my heart, its nice to feel appreciated … Just woke up after a long nap… (sleep problems, a symptom). Another forum member thinks I’m an idiot. He knows nothing about plants. The truth is I’ve forgotten more about plants than he will ever know.

great info. @Sewingcreations15 . In most cases you would look at dead leaves as a nuisance. I have SOOOOOOOOOO many dead leaves around..I will be doing some gathering this weekend!! Amazing the things just laying around that can be so valuable. One man's trash is another man's treasure for sure!@Dutchs sounds like wonderful amendments you have put in your soil and clay is the hardest soil to work with which most gardeners will tell you. The most important thing with clay soil is to put as much organic matter in it as possible to break up the heavy clay molecules. If you have shredded dried leaves and composted grass clippings you can throw those in the soil as well. The earth worms love dried leaves and we rake up all ours and run over them with the lawn mower and put them in the gardens and or use them as mulch too with hay if we don't have enough leaves. Can't do enough reading on gardening to get good information and learn when you are starting out
@Peanut I follow your posts too and learn a lot about plants for medicinal purposes too and you do have a few plants the same as us here in Australia.
Funny thing, I can’t speak all day. I have something the CDC describes as “debilitating” and ‘all encompassing”. I’m good for a couple of hours but that is about it. Sometimes I sit on the porch and stare at nature all day. It teaches me more than I could speak in a month.
How do you teach someone to “see” what is happening around them? So few can do it… I've met a couple of folks who could teach it but I never figured out how to.
