Angels in the Garden

"In the garden I tend to drop my thoughts here and there. To the flowers I whisper the secrets I keep and the hopes I breathe. I know they are there to eavesdrop for the angels." Dodinsky

JUST BLOOMED TODAY

  

GARDEN UPDATE

Just a wee note to let you all know how the garden is faring. We are seeing many new blooms each day and lots more to come. Today the weather was a gorgeous sunny 78F.

Of course, since I just bought tomatoes in pony packs, it is going to SNOW tomorrow <sigh>. Good thing I didn't plant them yet. Gotta love the California desert! One day it is t-shirt and shorts weather and the next you are making snowballs!

  

The 'experiment' with the lettuce being inside that I had shared with you previously, worked so swimmingly that I added more thyme and some lemon thyme as well. I was also encouraged enough to add another strawberry pot and planted sugar snap peas (the squirrel eats those, too). So far so good and I have been misting them as well. They are thriving, so fingers crossed.

Once I plant the tomatoes, I will be planting them topsy-turvy style and I will be doing an entire post on how to do that, with DIY photos, so stay tuned!

   the Gardeners

 

We dug the plot on Monday –

the soil was rich and fine,

We forgot to thaw out dinner –

so we went out to dine...

We planted roses Tuesday –

we think they are a must,

They really are quite lovely

but we quite forgot to dust.

On Wednesday it was daisies –

they opened up with the sun,

All whites and pinks and yellows –

but the laundry wasn’t done...

The poppies came on Thursday -

a bright and cherry red,

I guess we really were engrossed –

we never made the bed...

It was violets on Friday –

in colors we adore,

It never bothered us at all –

all crumbs upon the floor.

We hired a maid on Saturday 

our week is now complete,

We can garden all we want –

the house will still be neat!

It’s nearly lunchtime Sunday –

and we cannot find the maid,

Oh no! I don’t believe it!

She’s out there WITH THE SPADE!
