A little gardening

Haven't had much to post about lately, and hate to keep talking about the weather.

These surprise lilies have been simply beautiful...

Surprise, because I had no idea what the color would be. I bought them last year after Mother's Day. The blooms had fallen off and Lowes had reduced them to $3.00.

Like most folks, I've been busy in the teeny tiny garden. It's looking kinda pretty, but doesn't show that way in a picture. Not yet anyhow.

See, it's a little skimpy looking. I've built four tee pees; one each for crookneck squash, cucumbers, zucchini, and pole beans, and did get around to building the little wattle fence for the green beans. 

There are also two eggplants, four tomato plants, two pepper plants, short row of okra, onions, and leeks. When all is big and healthy, I will take another picture. 

just a little view of the garden from the outside.

Have you ever seen so much yarrow! Last summer I bought a pot of yarrow and put it in the herb garden...it bloomed a little and never came back. This, however, is wild yarrow and has taken over part of the front yard. After mowing down lots of it, I decided to leave this patch and watch it bloom. What is yarrow good for anyway?

Guess I'll get up from here. Poppy had to work a few hours today, but will be home shortly. 

I'm simply beat, friends. I've mowed the back forty, :) (wish we had a back forty), I've potted up several plants, hauled several wheelbarrow loads of leaf mulch to put between the garden rows, cleaned out four bunny boxes and added fresh hay,  and let's see...there's more, but I'll stop here and go find something to cook for supper. Thank you, if you are still here. 

Love,
Henny
