Veggie time!!!

On Sat. 5.22, we bought 24 tomato plants, 5 hot pepper plants, 2 basil plants, cilantro, rosemary and German camomile...all planted today, just before the big 'heat-up'...finally getting into the 80's for the next week here. Still need to plant some annual flowers/marigolds around the veggie garden--an attempt to keep the critters out.

Lauren, at first, did not want to get her hands all dirty, that soon changed...at 5, she knows the proper way to plant a garden! Thank you grandpa and dad!

Iris time...

Lots of iris popping today... :)

A busy week in the dirt

On 5.04, Lauren and I began to plant this week.
A few rows of:
Spanish onions
White onions
Red onions
Lettuce
Parsley

On 5.08/Sat., the weather was cold/windy, so we planted the annuals in the balcony trays in the garage...using the spikes and vines we saved over the winter.

This afternoon we planted the pink and purple/plum flowers around Christine's tree...Lauren did a great job of pulling out the weeds, turning over the soil, laying out the flowers w/ a pattern in mind (purple around the outside edge) and then planting them.

PS: no trip to the native plant sale this or last w/e. :-(
