Work for Great Weather


Whew! I'm bushed. I've had an intensive gardening day and I think it was a little too much. I have to go back out and finish up but need this little break to sit and give my arm a rest. We are expecting rain tomorrow so I can't put it off.

A friend came to help. She did part of one garden and I did another. I have to go replant all the bulbs she dug up ridding a section of my garden with a very invasive plant. I love the flower but didn't know it was going to take over like it did. She was only able to do a small section so I will be pulling out every offending plant that comes up in the rest of the garden. The plant is shown in the photo above. It is beautiful in vases but multiplies like nothing else.

I thought I already had Heavenly Day by Patty Griffin on the music pages but do not. I always take an opportunity to put up her wonderful presence. A gardening song that is quite nice is Acre of Land by Ray LaMontagne. It was time to put that one up again.

So when are you supposed to start planting the seeds in your garden?

BTW, we are getting three chickens today, for some egg laying. I hate eggs, so I want S to get a couple cows, for some T-Bone laying. But I stopped getting a vote awhile ago..

I am naming one of the chickens though. I am thinking about naming her Mattingly.

Who is Mattingly? LOL
I'm just working on flower gardens but are you asking me for your garden? Right now onions, peas, carrots, spinach, lettuce and beets can go in. Others have to wait a bit.

Who is Mattingly??! Those are fighting words!

Yeah - we've gotto get onto the gardening soon. I think S is planning on onions, tomatoes, pumpkins, corn, cucumber, peppers, garlic, and maybe some other stuff. As long as she doesn't ask me to weed, I will be a happy man!
