The veggie gardens

We are late getting our gardens in this year. Too much rain and busy, fun days with friends and grandittles visiting along with some cat-sitting to do.  Yesterday was the day, no matter what, to get those plants in. And we had the best help ever. :)

Tomatoes, beans, kale, beets, carrots & peppers.

Wow, it feels good to have that done. We planted two gardens for veggies this year so there should be no shortage of 'good eatin' this summer. You'll notice we leave a row of grass for walking between each row in the bigger garden. That just works well for us and can be mowed easily. Last year we did not have a problem with critters. Hope this year we are as lucky. I've got my eyes on those sneaky turkeys.

Now my funny little greenhouse looks sad and bare. Maybe I'll start a few more plants again. And set up a chair there for bird-watching.

We have added a couple of flower islands at the front of the property that I can see from the teeny weeny kitchen's window.
The spring flowers are almost done so now the perennials will be a joy to see.  

 

I need to cover the soil with mulch.

And although it is overcast on and off, the sun is puddlin' in and it is never ignored by two very appreciative ladies.

 

Sun on the bottom half is fine, too.

"OK, mom,

you want a smile?"

 "cheese"...on a bird burger, please.   hee hee
