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.
cucumber, squash, zucchini & cantalope


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

hugs, Deb

  1. You have such nice, neat rows! I still have a few things to get planted or potted. I suppose since we always used to never plant before Memorial Day, we're really not behind schedule -- it just seems like it because of the past two years! Love your buttercups!

  11. Your garden spot is so pretty, and I love your little helper. She is adorable. (how many times have I said that?) Leaving grass between the rows for walking is such a good idea. That Audrey! "a bird burger"! You two are so funny!
