  • Planting the garden. Salivating over the seed catalog. Endless dreaming of spring time.

     

    Aw.

    I just can’t wait.

     

    This is what I am planting this year:

    Mary Washington Asparagus

    Kentucky Wonder Pole Bean

    Detroit Red Beets

    Danvers Half Long Carrots

    Early Sun Glow Sweet Corn

    Pickling Cukes

    Slicing Cukes

    Sugar Snap Peas

    Garden Peas

    Yellow Onions

    Red Onions

    Green Bell Peppers

    Burbank Potatoes

    Cherry Radish

    Straight neck Squash

    Cantaloupe

    Roma Tomatoes

    Some other kind of tomato

    6 basil plants

    Thyme

    Sage

    Italian parsley

    Sunflowers

    The garden is going to be SOOOO cool.

    .

    I am also transplanting the growth on the side yard. The large climbing Rose will have a new home on a invisible support system. (wire and poles). I am replacing the dirt mounds with Tall grasses and Tall Snapdragons, Delphinium and Bells of Ireland (tall green flowers) All of these tall things will hide the neighbor’s ugly rusty chain link fence and maybe… shield the project car that my husband is going to work on someday.

    I also have some pretty purple pansy’s (all shades) that I am starting; I want these by the front door. They will be so pretty.

    My whole kitchen table is a seed bed right now. Georgia is totally fascinated and frustrated when I will not let her pick the newly erupting plants. She wants to eat my broccoli and the whole plant is only 3 cm big. It is really funny.

    I got a bunch of sweet pea for my brother’s house. He has an ugly chain link fence to hid too. His lady Sarah and I are going to plant the sweet pea soon. It will look so pretty.

    I even bought some bulbs for my neighbor. I found some bulbs that she loves at the dollar store, they had just set them out for sale and so I figured I would get her a bag before they were gone.

     

    Did I tell you I am out of control?

     

    So the camera is officially broke. I will be dropping it off at the Post Office tomorrow.

    UGH.

    Dylan is soooo cute. And I can’t even take his picture. It is a crying shame.

  • Oh that's so exciting and delicious. What bounty and beauty and good times await. Did you ever think of planting a row of berry bushes?
