A Little Late
I’m a little late but yesterday I finally got my veggie garden planted. I figure I missed 3-4 weeks of the growing season and we have a short season to begin with so I’m not likely to get much of a harvest. But it just isn’t summer without fresh veggies from the garden.
My daughter has been interested in flowers lately so we ripped out the strawberry bed that never seemed to produce much and yesterday she planted a bunch of flowers. I’m looking forward to seeing how it works out. I’m hoping the deer are gone for the season or I suspect these will all get munched down.
Today it rained all day. Hopefully a good thing for the garden, although I also worry it could have washed away the smaller seeds. Things had gotten really dry and we needed the moisture but I’m not sure the timing was so good.
I still need to mulch the flowers and new trees and fix up the edging around a mulch bed and then I can go back inside and ignore the yard again. It sure takes a lot of work. Definitely fun at times but also very draining.
Now off to the studio to hopefully finish Markings #15, tonight is my first chance to quilt in weeks. I’m looking forward to a more laid back summer.

I am thinking that the top photo of the veggie garden reminds me of the quilt image you included in your last post.

yes, that first image does look a little like one of your quilts.
you are ahead of me in the garden. I have been so straight out with computer work stuff, I haven’t weeded my poor flower garden once. But we did get the old leaves off it. I hope it felt great to be outside!
