By the time we were ready to start digging and planting it was pouring rain. It rained half of Friday, and most of Saturday. Scot and his mom donned rain gear and headed out to dig in the mud! By the time the garden was ready for planting both of them were soggy and muddy and cold and ready for a break in the weather ... but no luck. It rained almost all day and the garden got planted in spite of the uncooperative weather!
I helped as much as I could, but Larkin was almost as uncooperative as the weather ... I worked on flower pots to grace our front porch and driveway.
When all was said and done we had a beautiful garden with veggies and herbs and flowers. We had great fun getting our hands and feet and rear ends dirty!
I remember Marie's garden of veggies, herbs, and flowers up in Kodiak - she always had beautiful things growing. Her hanging flower baskets were sooo beautiful. How awesome that she was there to help you guys get your garden started.
ReplyDeleteThe gardening project was really fun and I am anxious to see the outcome. To think of planting tomatoes outside was exciting as here in Alaska that would be impossible.
ReplyDeleteJust spending time in any way with you guys was the greatest. I left Kodiak with there still being tons of snow and got to see spring in her glory and returned to the snow gone and with motivation to begin our growing season. Thanks so much!
OK I will stop whining about it being 55 and a bit windy here and get out and rake and weed. Dennis planted more berries and we have some heirloom plants coming from a friend who grows them in his greenhouse. I am excited to see the yellow tomatoes growing. Perhaps the dogs won't eat them cause they won't know they are ripe :D Your pots look lovely.
