Warm Weather At Last !

Warm Weather At Last !

This is being said all over America :)

Before I show you the garden progress,

I want to show you this.

A sweet handmade card from Nancy Davis

of 
 Cozy Thyme Cottage

Nancy is a sweetheart.
She had 7 yard long bean seeds,
and after hearing that I was looking for 
them, she mailed me 4 of hers.
That's true generosity!

I have planted them here.
Along with two rows of bush beans,
one row of cabbage
and space for peppers, to be planted soon.

Here's our rhubarb.

Here are my peppers waiting to be planted.

Here are some of our tomatoes.
last Fall we covered the beds in leaves . . .
I could not believe how rich the soil looks under
those decaying leaves and how many earth worms we have :)

This bed is waiting for romaine lettuce and
the tires behind are for watermelon :)

I discovered planting in tires last year.
Cucumber seem to love them :)

This is our raspberry patch . . .looking good! 

And these are our blackberries.
We are just starting our fifth year living here,
and this year I can tell that my composting
is starting to pay off :) 

Walking around the yard you can see our lilacs.

I have been getting so much enjoyment
from their heavenly aroma.

 So have the bees.

This is one of our white lilac bushes. 
 

 The snowball bush is also starting to bloom.

The roses are growing along the fences.

And the bleeding heart is blooming.

They were all waiting on warm weather.

We have a few tulips that are late bloomers still gracing the yard.

And the hay field across the road is turning green.
Isn't it pretty?

The porch is ready for drop in company . . .
if you're in the neighborhood,
drop by . . . I'll fix tea  :)

 Do you know what this is?
Well, I haven't had a lot of time 
for it . . . but I plan on doing a lot of this . . .

Once the garden is all planted,
I think that I can watch it grow
from this location in the hammock swing :)

~~~~~*****~~~~~
I know it looks like hard work . . .
but somebody has to do it.

That's my post this week . . .
have you been out enjoying the warm weather?

Whatever you are doing . . .
do it with a 
SMILE :)

Your blogging sister,
Connie :)
