Yesterday was absolutely beautiful here. It was sunny and warm. Although it was a busy day, Mary and I still found time to get some planting done. It felt so good to get my hands in the soil although brief for me. I am still recovering from sinus surgery and am on restrictions yet. I should say that I helped Mary get things in the garden last night. That would probably be more accurate. She ended up doing most of the work. She didn't mind though. She loves planting and gardening as much as I do.
Last night, we planted some cabbages amongst our flowers in the front flower beds. I am trying to do some more edible landscaping and find red cabbage can be a very pretty plant. Potatoes are also gorgeous when they bloom and would be a good choice but I like to plant lots of potatoes so find them easier to do in the garden We also planted cilantro, kohlrabies, peas, carrots and potatoes.
We still have a few more things to plant. It is supposed to rain this afternoon so we will try to get them in this morning before it does. We also need to put some more grass seed down. The exciting part is the first patches that I planted several weeks ago are finally coming through. We will have to rake back the straw this weekend so it can get plenty of sun. We still have many more patches of bare ground to go but hope to get them done sometime this week.
I have to say the most exciting part of the evening was discovering our first daffodil bloom. It won't be long now until they all start blooming.
Hope you all can get in your gardens soon! We are really enjoying ours.
