We actually had a couple of good weather days here in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. We even had one amazing day. Freckles and I took full advantage of it and spent the afternoon in the SUN. Have no fear, our rain returned in short order. Meh. I'm done with the rain . . . for now anyway. I'll welcome it back come autumn.
We finally put all our starts in the ground! Yippee!! Princess planted more flower seeds, marigolds this time. My Gardening Goddess friend suggested planting them with the tomato plants, to keep bugs away. Tomatoes will join the marigold seeds tomorrow.
Once we finished putting what we had in the ground, I realized that we needed more lettuce and more greens. Princess and I headed over to Al's Garden Supply after horse riding lesson and picked up romaine, chard and sorrel.
The fairy garden is growing. And we had a visitor . . . no, no fairies yet. But I think this ladybug is a sign.
Rain continues today, but is supposed to be gone again tomorrow, with a lovely forecast through Saturday. Fingers crossed! At least with all the rain, we haven't had to water the garden. Yup! I'm always looking for that silver lining.
Now head on over to our Monday Garden Club sponsor, Aliceson at Feet Off the Table to see gardens around the world.
I love your planters and that ladybug is certainly a sign of things to come. Ladybugs have to come first ya know.
ReplyDeleteI am glad to see you back and feeling better. :)
LK did an amazing job with the raised beds, didn't he?! He always impresses me. :) And if you agree that the ladybugs are a sign, well then, they must be!
ReplyDeleteNICEEEEEEEEEEE! I love it when everything is all fresh and colorful and the soil is all clean and black, lol. Great pics! Welcome back!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks great! And so glad to hear that you are feeling better. Being sick sucks!
ReplyDeleteI know, Sheila! It's all so pristine and pretty. Before long it will all be going crazy . . . at least I hope so. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Aliceson! And yes, being sick sucks.
Yay! You're back! Lovely, lovely gardens. It's been raining for almost two weeks straight here. It's making it tough to get out and do any gardening. My yard looks so naked. :D I LOVE Ladybugs...surely the fairies can't be far behind.
ReplyDeleteIt is good to be back, Sheri. I guess we all just need a bit of a break from time to time. We've been fortunate enough to have a few nice days. I hope you get some soon. I am so excited about our garden this year. I can't wait to eat the food we grow.
ReplyDeleteAnd I think it's official now. Ladybugs are a definite sign that fairies are soon to come. :)
just beautiful and lush!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to eat the fruits of our labor, Beth! nom-nom . . .
ReplyDeleteThe framing is amazing - you are going to have spectacular gardens!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it, Cate? When LK tried to describe what he was going to do I gave him a blank stare. I was amazed when he was done. : )
