I'd Rather Be In the Garden Today

This weekend it rained, scratch that, POURED - all of Saturday and a good portion of Sunday. At least we are saving on having to water everything as Mother Nature is doing that for us. But at the same time, plants do enjoy sun every once in a while!

I did get a chance to swing in quickly to check out the progress yesterday – but I did not get to take any photos or do any weeding. I hope to do so tonight if it is not raining. My sister was visiting from Rhode Island. She was very impressed with the garden set up and even more impressed with the fresh basil we used to make Bruschetta. The spicy bush basil will now be a staple in my garden.

The new planting of beans are emerging. (Fingers crossed about no slugs). The peas are blossoming and look really beautiful. We found our first pea pod! The new planting of beets are coming up. The broccoli has tiny heads forming! Even the seed started broccoli in catching up!
