First Gardening update of 2011

Tags: , , , ,

So, here it is in late April, its time for a gardening update at Rosey Disposition!

So far this year, we have done a lot, from the sod, to pavers (post still to come), and many things indoors.  Amongst all of this has been more gardening.  You may remember our last gardening updates, here and lastly here .  You may remember in the first update we did, our Avocado plant hadn’t made it, we have an update on that!

Lets start with our updated Veggie garden.  This year, we went with three versions of tomato plants, five cucumber plants (yes…5), basil and cilantro again, as well as two different bell pepper varieties, and we recently planted a greek oregano plant.  One thing you will notice, is that the rosemary has made it through the Florida “winter” and is huge! Feel free to flip to the old posts to compare this year to last year, but it seems to be doing better, mainly because we planted before the dead heat of summer and rainy season.

What a very sod weekend

Tags: , , , , , ,

It has taken a while to get this post up.  We initially resodded in the last weekend in February.

We received a few quotes to have our sod professionally done, but they both seemed like too much to pay for what we could do it ourselves for.

After much researching, the venture started on a Friday night, by renting a U-Haul pickup truck and immediately heading over to Home Depot.  At the store, we bought compost, a “bagster” (shown later), a wheel barrow and other miscellaneous things.  The big thing we did was rent a sod cutter, the type seen below, $90 for a 1 day rental.
