Dirt Day 1

I have hardly been home to do much gardening. Last weekend I planted a few veggies and zinnia seeds. I wished for more rain than we got. Today I went to Gunters Greenhouse and got a bunch of annuals for the front door pots and the terrace garden. My wonderful plumbers left me nine tomato plants they didn’t need so I planted seven of them along with some basil and marigolds, along with a second round of green beans and arugula.

I did my front door pots. They don’t look like much right now. They need a few weeks of growing to fill out. I was too tired to do the terrace pots and the secret garden. That will have to wait until tomorrow. The peonies are lush and full of flower balls waiting to explode, I think by next week.

Russ and I took note of which hoses have given way and which nozzles need to be replaced, so guess what I am getting for my birthday. At least they don’t have a plug.

There is still a bunch of mulch to be spread, slowly but surely we should get it all done. I need to finish that project so I can order new gravel for the driveway. Another excellent present, perhaps for our anniversary which is the day before my birthday.

Oh I can only dream of what exciting thing I can get for Mother’s Day. Thank goodness we don’t need anymore garden tools.
