The garden is poised for action.

Cherry, cosmonaut, and garden peach tomatoes. Hot peppers. Sweet peppers. Leeks. Easter egg radishes and French breakfast radishes. The WideEyedHousehold is doubtful about a breakfast of radishes. Lettuces. Carrots. Borage. Grapes. Sunflowers and two pear trees. And oh, blue coco pole beans, whatever they are, time will tell.

    I spent the day weeding. I don’t have huge plans for my garden, but I just want it to look decent. Good luck with yours…

      Thanks. I don’t know what the weather was like today in your world, but it was a great, sunny day for weeding here!

        A little too sunny I think. I sweated more while weeding than I did on my morning run. Of course, the morning run didn’t allow me to use a shovel… 🙂

    You have me beat for variety! I have a bunch of tomatoes started from seed, cucumbers, lettuce, butternut squash, strawberries, potatoes, onions and lavender. Hey, wait…that’s a pretty good variety too…

      Potatoes! Now I have them too – moments after I posted my neighbor gave me her extra seed potatoes. I’ve never grown them before and I am excited. I need to make an aboveground bag – or buy one. I wish you the best with your variety garden!

        Good luck with your taters! You can cut them up to plant; just make sure each piece has an “eye” on it.

    try as i might, i can’t figure out where that garden is. is that the side of the house, or garage?

    1. wideeyedfunk Avatar

      That’s the far end of the yard next to the garage. The fence keeps Miss T and H from yanking tender young plants out, but Miss T has learned to squeeze her body through a window pane, sloooowly and careefully. . Annoying.

    Ahhh ! So inviting! Even the garden has your unique touch. Can I come and weed too! or sit quietly and watch it all grow?

      Any time. We put in six little trees throughout the yard too – so in a few years it will be a haven.

    We planted potatoes some years ago in those cylinders from Gardner’s Supply. I think they were Yukon Gold and small red potatoes. They didn’t bear much, but I remember getting enough for a meal. Too bad you aren’t near by to borrow them.

      I keep thinking abou those cylinders. I was planning to buy one of those potato bags they sell at Garden’s Supply, but I keep thinking about your potato cylinders. Maybe I’ll crib something together and borrow your gear next I am in the area – future seasons!
