Yellow Flower

These are really pretty.  I saw some purple ones this morning when I was on a walk with the babies.  

I want to figure out what they are, so I can get some purple ones!

Trellis

HELP!!!  If anyone actually reads this blog I need help with my trellis.  I don't really want to cut any of the heavy wisteria.  I would rather just make the trellis more stable, if thats possible.

Any ideas?

Radish, Carrots, and Beets

Something ate all the radishes!  Maybe that rabbit that the cat caught?

On a more positive note, if you look real close you

can see the carrots growing!  Hopefully we get some

yummy, plump carrots!

Note to self:  I realize for my garden blog its just easier to create a new post instead of updating the past ones on the same topic.  Now I need to look into what "labels" in blogger is all about and see if that can help me organize by topic.

Also, I love when it rains and when the daycare babies take good naps.  I can get all my thoughts out!  Yippie!

Spinach

My first spinach plant from a seed.  I love spinach.  Its so dark, earthy, and yum.  I can't wait to eat it!  Its growing with the strawberries!

Pink Flower

I like this flower in my trunk.  I can't remember what its called.  But its pretty.

Chelsea's Garden

My race bib from "Finish Chelsea's Run" could be planted

and wildflowers will grow.  I also received a packet of 

sunflower seeds as the finishers medal!

I planted my bib and some sunflowers here,

right next to my Rosemary.  If you look real close on the

bottom left side there is a small sunflower sprouting.

I like this information about Rosemary from Wikipedia-Especially the love part.  Sweet.:

Folklore and customs

In the Middle Ages, rosemary was associated with wedding ceremonies - the bride would wear a rosemary headpiece and the groom and wedding guests would all wear a sprig of rosemary, and from this association with weddings, rosemary evolved into a love charm. Newlywed couples would plant a branch of rosemary on their wedding day. If the branch grew, it was a good omen for the union and family. In ‘A Modern Herbal’, Mrs Grieves says “A rosemary branch, richly gilded and tied with silken ribands of all colours, was also presented to wedding guests, as a symbol of love and loyalty.” If a young person would tap another with a rosemary sprig and if the sprig contained an open flower, it was said that the couple would fall in love.

Rosemary was used as a divinatory herb. Several herbs were grown in pots and assigned the name of a potential lover. They were left to grow and the plant that grew the strongest and fastest gave the answer. Rosemary was stuffed into poppets (cloth dolls) to attract a lover or attract curative vibrations for illness. It was believed that placing a sprig of rosemary under a pillow before sleep would repel nightmares, and if placed outside the home it would repel witches. Somehow, the use of rosemary in the garden to repel witches turned into signification that the woman ruled the household in homes and gardens where rosemary grew abundantly. By the 16th century, men were known to rip up rosemary bushes to show that they, not their wives, ruled the roost.^[20]

Sprigs of rosemary are worn on ANZAC Day and sometimes Remembrance Day to signify remembrance; the herb grows wild on the Gallipoli peninsula.^[11
