Tomatoes

Tomatoes are doing well!

I've got them growing in three different

places in our yard.  I wanted to make sure we got

a nice tomato crop this year!  Last year

there weren't enough!

Watermelon Patch

Our painted tree is gone.  My gardener cut it up

and put it in the yard waste.  Oh well.  We can

create more beautiful things and memories.  

For now, we'll see how watermelon do in this area!

Water Schedule

Reminder:

Water in late afternoon, early evening if possible-

Tuesdays

Fridays

Saturdays

Sundays

Starters

I have a lot of starters.  I think I will have enough 

to share with Mom and Jessica!

They are already sprouting!

But I needed to do something about them, they might

get too wet!  

So, I let them get a little rain and then I moved the all inside.

Now, they are happier and continue to grow!

We'll put them outside in a few days.

List

1. Fit in a weekly/daily water routine.  Possibly water at night?
2. Fix the hose and put on the water sprayer attachment thing.
3. Weed and replant around the painted tree.
4. Get worm farm ready for Oliver.
5. Plant jasmine along water can fence.
6. Plant more lavender in the purple garden.
7. Plant the flat of plants mom got for me yesterday.
8. Look into getting a sign made for my garden.
9. Figure out what to do with the wood pieces that have fallen off the playhouse.
10. Clean out the composting area.
11. Weed all garden beds.
12. Plant flowers in at least one garden bed and see how they do.   Now observe them.
13. Plant hanging plants.  Maybe get some from the Van Man at the Farmer's Market.
14. Move all starters Friday afternoon/evening inside for the weekend.  Its going to rain a lot this weekend, make sure they don't drown.  Watch other new plantings outside!
15. Put mulch around azaleas.

Wheelbarrow

I like azalea.  I need to get some mulch for it.

When we lived in Ohio we lived on 

Azalea Blvd.  Hopefully the bushes do well in

this area.  It would be nice to fill up some of the 

space around the wheelbarrow. 

Four Queens

Four Queens Nursery is right down the street form El Plantio on HWY 78, close to my home.  It had everything I was looking for at cheap prices.  It felt like I was more in someones backyard, hopefully it doesn't become more commercialized because then the prices will probably go up.  

Lantana, not sure what the middle one is called-research,

and Mexican Sage Bush.

A little creepy being on my own at this nursery.

This is my front yard.  These daisies started in a 

gallon container a couple years ago.  I got some

more to plant in the back.  I want them to spread like these ones!

I will also try and cut a little from this one and plant in the back.

This is the plant I was looking for at the

nurseries.  Glad I found it at Four Queens.

I planted it in the back by the railroad ties

with the other two above.  Hopefully they

all flourish and I can make a pretty purple

flower garden.
