MAGGIE & GARDEN DOING OK SO FAR

Maggie seems to be O K so far even though the vet said to keep her calm for 3 weeks..He must be joking :)..You can not keep a big puppy calm when she has her sister to run and play and tussle. She has to go back to vet for them to listen to her heart and then again in 6 months.
She thinks she is O K and can do whatever she wants...including jumping the fence and taking off and does not like to come back when she is called. She took off with the one neighbors dog a few days ago (yes this neighbor just leaves his dog run wher ever he wants) and we didn't see Maggie for about 2 hours. Billy finally saw her at the neighbors house and went and got her. She was SOAKED which means her and "Oreo" (neighbors dog) had run through the creek.
I was sooooo mad at her, tied her up outside until she dried off and she did know I was very upset with her and was kind of quiet the rest of the night.

This is what you call 2 very spoiled puppies laying on the bed in the guest room. They love a humans bed LOL

Maggie and Calli both also like Mom and Dads recliners and I almost feel guilty waking them up to put them in their crate for the night.

They will be 1 yr old on the 21st and it has been a real challenge. After raising 8 sons and 1 daughter I thought it would be nice to have some big dogs and would be easy....boy was I mistaken..None of my kids stole food..chewed shoes and magazines and even registration for car tags. I was told they will out grow being naughty when they are 2...I am doing the count down but I must say they are getting better. They even tried to help me remodel the bathroom and tore some of the wall paper off the wall . All in all they are good puppies (I guess I will always call them pups) and anything they have done was fixable for the most part even though they trashed the couch and we had to burn it (It wasn't much good anyhow and I guess they knew I hated that couch)

Garden is doing O K and will have to start mulching tomorrow. Billy dug some spots for me before the tractor got here to get the garden ready and this is where I have 10 pepper plants. I have the fence around it to keep neighbors dog from trampling them (He did dig 3 big holes where I have the spinach and beans planted so who knows what they will look like if they do make it.

This is also 2 rows that Billy dug by hand and left a wide space between the rows I have some tomatoes and some beets and carrots in this area and it measures about 23 X 33 feet.

I have some other plants and seeds in this area and it measures about 33 X 58 feet

This is just another spot that Billy dug for me and has Peas and beans and some Kohlrabi

This is where we planted a ton of beets and carrots and at the end I have some sunflowers planted..it measures about 33 X 38 feet

This is where I have a lot of squash planted and some more flowers..it measure about 33 X 50

and way over to the left is where I have some of my gourds and devils claw planted

This is where we will be planting the rest of the corn and Billy has some purple hull peas and speckeled beans to plant..This is the largest area and measures about 83 X 51 feet.....I am hoping for a good crop to freeze and can from all of the garden.

We also have one more plot that I didn't get a picture of that is about 51 X 57 feet that has a lot of watermelon and cantaloupe and some more Tomato plants and even thought I would try 1 egg plant and some seeds.

I will put a list of everything we have planted in my next post and maybe show more pictures later when we get it mulched and things start growing.

Oh...and I also have a few herb gardens and I still have a few packs of some greens and of course will be planting some small containers of Marigolds and putting them around in garden to help keep bugs away.
