Flower planting and nurseries!

This is called 'ketchup & fries!'
Both potatoes and tomatoes.
They have such a sense of humour.

What a glorious rain we had, finally! My rain gauge had 10mm in it! This gives us a May accumulation of 41mm, so far. It was a prefect rain, all day, with enough time to really seep into the ground.
I harvest 4 ticks from Daisy yesterday, 5 the previous day, even though we had rain. She came in soaking wet and bugs on her eye and whisker patch.
This makes 24 in total. It's going to be a good year for them, methinks!

We have peas sprouting. Isabelle and I planted them on Mother's Day. That was a blast. I can't wait to show her how they are growing, let alone pick some to eat!

My planters are full, although I've given up on many of them. I cannot find a good reason to water baskets of flowers 50m down the property! I'm more in favour of perennials than annuals, but the petunias are lovely, and I HAVE to plant impatience in honour of my mother! You'll recall we even shopped locovore for native plants.

I planted some cucumbers, squash and zuccinni in a water barrel, on the middle deck. I have no confidence that we can keep our Mr. Groundhog, labbit, or the deer. And the bugs have been terrible. Also, this barrel is close to the hose, and I can water it easily. We'll see what happens.

There is nothing nicer than walking into a rich, moist space, like this. Lovely colours of flowers. We frequent a lot of different nurseries, just to spread our business around.

This is on my fave list!
Happy Anniversary?!
Nudge-nudge, wink-wink!

I have enough lawn ornaments, I know...
but they are so cute!
