When You are Brilliant (Not Me)

 It's planting season again.

Kyle and I have been planting 

"Slenderette" green beans in the garden.

This is the nifty tool we use.

We got it last year on Amazon.

You decide how close you want your plants and

then lay the template on the soil, use the little orange

poker thingie (at the top) to poke your holes

and then if you are lucky, you have an assistant

who comes behind and puts seeds in all your holes.

This morning we were planting more beans and Kyle

had a brilliant idea.

So I went to the store for the weekly groceries

and he went to the garage.

Introducing Kyle's brilliant invention!

He copied the template, but then screwed a bolt

into each hole he wanted to use to plant.

Screwed them in to the correct planting depth.

This is what the bottom looks like.

Then he just pressed it into the dirt!

FINISHED PRODUCT in under 3 minutes!!!

It worked perfectly!!!

Now depending on how close / far apart he wants his

plants, he just repositions the bolts into the correct

holes at the correct depth and BOOM!

Oh to be BRILLIANT!

Meanwhile, in other news...

the house well pump started making awful noises.

And since the yard well has a cracked sleeve

and it pulls up more sand than water...

Off to the Water Man store Rod headed.

Lots of dollars and aggravation later...

we have a new pump!!!

THANK YOU!

We are so blessed to have a house full of 

Brilliant People!

A quick peak at PART of my haul...
