My Petunia's

I checked out bunny bunster's blog yesterday showing pictures of beautiful bulbs.  I am kind of a flower/nature freak.  Yes, freak.  I have a front flower bed full of daylillies and where I don't have flowers I have pots of flowers. My petunia's are blooming like crazy.  All four pots of them.  We had a little rain this morning and they aren't quite as perky as usual, but so colorful.  I've been enjoying them this spring.

Fall Garden is officially in.

For me there is nothing better than digging in the dirt. The smell of manure, flowers blooming, eating what I've grown - its just a big giant high. Its my own "drug addiction". The gardening thing that is.

I did get my fall garden all planted. In my garden I have two rows of broccoli, three rows of spinach, three rows of head lettuce, and three rows of salad mix. I'm looking forward to some green stuff and maybe, just maybe I'll have enough to share. If you want in - let me know now.

I've been working in the Garden!

All morning long, I have been working in my little, but very productive garden. Its about 15 feet long & 2 or 3 feet wide. This summer it provided me with potatoes, squash & okra. This fall & maybe some winter (its not always freezing here in Texas) it will keep me in lettuce, spinach and broccoli. I can here the yippees from here about the broccoli.

I have incorporated 1 1/2 bags of organic compost into the garden for nutrients and to replace some of the soil that has disappeared over the last year and after one more good turning, I will put the seeds into the ground. There is nothing more satisfying than a job well done. It also helps me eat a little healthier and maybe it will help me lose a few pounds if I eat all this salad. Ya baby.
