Don't get me wrong, I love the rain! Any time I don't have to drag the house around is wonderful. As much as my plants love the moisture so do the weeds and it doesn't seem to matter how much I mulch or squeeze the plants together, weeds pop up everywhere.
After I collected the hundredth weed or so to toss in my weed bucket I wondered what it would be like to downsize? Maybe an apartment with a killer window box? It's something we talk about a lot since eventually we would like to move. Do we really want more land? The plant collector shrieks, YES! Acres! But as I'm on my hands and knees, cursing bind weed, I'm not so sure. It might be nice to have a life on the weekend that doesn't involve mulch, compost or manure.
Rain, Weeds & More Weeds
Things Are Pop'N
Outside things are really looking beautiful.
Indoors, not so much. I think I'm growing the most pathetic tomato plants ever. They stayed in jiffy plugs too long & when they finally got potted up they were half dead. Really. I'm embarrassed so I will spare a pic. I'm hoping they will perk up now that they were potted and given more light. I'll be kicking their little butts outside after the 15th. I hope they make it because I doubt I'll find any of the plants I want by then.
The plant sales are on and I haven't attended one of them yet. Sick with the flu for the last two weeks but I'm hoping maybe by this weekend I'll feel like going to a few local garden sales.
It's great to be back blogging! :)
Shhh! The Garden Sleeps
If that's at all possible with Beagles running all over it. Yes, it's 7 degrees right now & the beds are blanketed with snow. I've been a bad blogger going months without a post. I had things to say but never took the time to say them, then forgot..Oh, no excuse is good but I am still here, gardening & blogging when I have time.
I had a good gardening season and have started trading & buying seeds for the next. I can't wait to start seeds.
