Saturday

A few showers today. Clear tomorrow and for the first of the week.
Okra and peas are going in Wednesday.

The potatoes are beautiful and blooming. The beans and peas are up and looking good.


Sugar snap peas are blooming up a storm.

Dry Friday!

No rain today. Maybe the gardens will dry out some.






"Love of gardening is a seed that once sown never dies."
Gertrude Jekyll

This is my "tipsy" pots. The plants are growing good and getting fuller. I love this thing. I saw it on Martha Stewart and had to build one. I want more!

My sugar snap peas are growing very well. They are blooming.

Buzzy Buzzard

This is "Buzzy" the buzzard. He is so cute!
He is 5 weeks old. Hatched and raised on the ground. He will be 5 months old when he leaves home. He is an only bird this year.

Rain has stopped for now!

I hope the garden survives all the rain. My peas are up but lying on top of the ground. The beans may all be at the bottom of the garden.

The potatoes were up enough to survive it very well and they are growing like weeds.

As soon as the ground dries up some, more peas will go in.

Rainfree Monday

No rain today. Gonna start again tomorrow. The driveway is rutted out and some of the garden is at the bottom of the rows. Oh, well. I guess I get to plant over again.

That's what happens when you get in too big of a hurry. We do it every spring.
The dreary winter makes us get in a hurry to get things growing. But then "mother nature" puts us in our place.

The potatoes are looking quite lovely. I just hope there are potatoes under the lush, green plants.

I got my cherry tomatoes in the ground Saturday in between rain showers. These tomatoes are so sweet! They will grow as long as the weather will let them. I have one from last fall that has grown all winter, bloomed and produced tomatoes. If only I had a green house.
