There was time today for me to work in the garden on the property. It's a small patch - especially if we are going to share this one. This year we are planting lots of freezer stuff - corn, beans, carrots, peas, pickling cukes - and buy some of the other stuff like potatoes, onions, salads. There is a garden over at Kristin's that we might try to get cleaned out and let the kids have at it - pumpkins, flowers, watermelon...kid lovin' stuff! Next year....dreaming already of doubling the patch and planting more. One blessing is the rhubarb patch here. We couldn't take some of our treasures along that Janet Hegde had blessed me with in Gadshill. My consolation - I have rhubarb here and I gave Laura one of Janet's plants to put in her garden in Stratford!
Driving around the blocks here I have noticed that a lot of gardens have wire around them. Hmmm. Do you think our dog, Coal will be enough of a deterent for garden pests? We will keep a close eye on things when they start sprouting.
I got a good start on things and I have to say it's a pretty garden! Don't you agree?
Never before have I had such sweet row markers but I found these in the pile of stuff we brought along. Haven't told Henry about them yet - hopefully I am ok to use them for awhile and it doesn't matter that I wrote on them either!
And just above that sea of yellow around my garden patch are two large, lovely fruit trees! Hoping they yield something very sweet! It's been a day full of wonderful blessings!
