Yesterday was the first day so far this year that all six of us were able to get out in the garden together and plant away. If you have seen my garden you know that its quite large and really takes quite a bit of time.
It feel so glorious to have my hands in the dirt. I get so excited to plant and watch every little green shoot break free of the soil towards the sunlight! I love putting starter plants in and watching them flourish as well.
What all did we plant yesterday? Lets see.. 3 rows of corn, 3 rows of green beans, a row of leaf spinach, yellow squash, zuchinni, yet more tomatos(I think we are near 30 tomato plants now), bell peppers, and lettuce...I believe that was all.
We already have onions, did I mention gobs of tomatoes?...I know I'm missing something in there.
We have left to plant: cucumbers, pumpkins, melons of all kinds, and some hotter peppers too. I'm also anticipating getting a few packs of flowers and perhaps talking Cory into building me some window boxes.
I have numerous seed packets that I want to plant as well...some perenials for the hummingbirds, perhaps some forget me nots, and I am anxious to see how many of our dahlias pop back up this year and how big the red hot poker plants will get...
The way I see it, I should be able to get my hands dirty almost every day for the next week or so, planting.
I love that my kiddos demand to be involved and some even pulled weeds voluntarily, always puts a smile on my face to see that!
After that it will be time to weed!
