Finally ...The Sun!

Well this morning it looked like it was going to be another washed out day. I peered out my bedroom window and into the low corner of my yard and ta da! A lake... a pond... and ducks. yes, in fact ducks were swimming in my backyard. That did not bode well for the garden work. But I pressed on. I headed over to Lowe's, picked up some fencing, some stakes, some weed barrier and some more seed pots.

Driving back home the sky grew dark and boy did the wind whip! Ugh. I went inside and did some work and then joy of joys - the sun came out. It was still windy but I was determined to get outside. It was great - I was able to do a lot of weeding, straightening up of the rock border. I even got most of the fencing up - I still have to decide what to do about a garden gate.

I was able to prune down and trim many of my plants. I even got a chance to start to train my blackberry bush around a trellis.

It was so nice to take a break and sit on the bench and dream about my garden. I have a plan for my herb plot and a great idea for a movable trellis for my beans.

My new little plastic greenhouses came in the mail. I popped them up today. I am going to place them in a bare spot in the garden. Unfortunately tomorrow it is supposed to rain. If it doesn't I will place the greenhouses. Even if it does rain I am going to cover the dining room table with plastic and plant my seeds.
