Finally.....

Wow!  It has been almost a month!  I did not realize it had been so long.  Let's get caught up.  A picture is worth a thousand words, so...........The front yard on May 15th....



and May 29th.......       
The tulips were really amazing this year.                                                               


 Now the tulips are finished and the Iris are starting to bloom. - The Peonies are full of buds......          Just for fun, we have some topsy turvy tomatoes  hanging on the right.....

   The new garden is planted...
We planted potatoes and onions, red, yellow, and white, on April 15th.   Then set out cabbage plants about a week after that, then replanted several cabbage plants in the middle of May.  Little by little we added, carrots, zucchini,  cornflowers, black beans, cauliflower, cucumbers, nasturtium, acorn squash, buttercup squash, tomatoes, garlic, hot peppers, sweet peppers, broccoli, wax beans, green beans, green onions, carnations..... and of course, our little friend showed up to help.

c(”)(”)    Help himself, that is.  He is so tame.  The second time I planted broccoli, he did not even wait for me to get out of the garden.  He paid no attention to my loud scolding, and barely moved when I threw my garden digger at him.  
   We are planting the old garden spot to sweet corn - lots of sweet corn - and melons - and extra broccoli.
So it is almost 4:00 and starting to cool off, so time to do more planting.  Until next time........

  1. Sounds like you have a garden full. It's great that you are growing food. It's increasingly important that people grow some of their food since the limited varieties in stores are often sold because they travel well from farm to store. Look forward to seeing more photos!
