Today was the first really warm day we've had. We actually sat on the patio in t-shirts and ate dinner al fresco. I love this time of year!
I'm not altogether pleased with the size and location of the thermometer -- it's just too far away from the seating area to be seen. Doesn't it look tiny over there to the left?:
Do you remember that I had 6 sunflowers growing along the foundation? Do you only see 5 now? VPH somehow managed to step on one when mowing the grass yesterday and smashed it to bits. Better it than the hydrangea which apparently he was trying to avoid when he stepped on the sunflower pot. Think I need to hit this area with the weedwacker much?:
I finally have teeny-tiny cinnamon basil seedings popping up joining quite a few sweet basil seedlings:
The maybe chives are growing like weeds:
But still nary a sign of a single marigold. Looks like I'll be picking up a flat of marigolds somewhere:
I've got MORNING GLORIES!:
The peas are growing gangbusters:
I'm definitely going to have to thin these carrots:
We purchased a bird-feeder and a bag of mixed birdseed at HD. Does anyone have any advice on how we can help the birds to find it?:
I just love this photo. The afternoon light, the grill at the end of the walkway that started this whole garden adventure, my perennial plants that came back up like magic this spring, the yellow buds that have been falling from the trees, the pile of weeds on the walkway showing that I've at least started cleaning up the bed, the thriving heather plant, and best of all the knowledge that delicious chicken for my dinner salad was cooking on that grill!:
Do you have a part of your garden that's making you really happy right now?
