April 22

April 28 

Swinging from Spring to Winter in a week! 

April 19, 2017

The beets, onions, spinach and peas are up in the garden.  The potatoes are planted, yukon gold. Jim put the pea trellis up this year before the peas were planted so we should have better luck with them.  Saturday my mom was here and we did a quick clean up of the dead mum plants.  An hour's work seems to be all I can do right now, I'm tired out by then.  I've done some weeding and hope to do more.  Yesterday was a beautiful day.  Just right for temperature, wind and sunshine.  Today is chilly and damp and windy.

The tomato plants are nearly dead.

These sound like they would do well is our sticky clay soil, but would they spread too quickly?

My tomatoes and peppers aren't doing very well. I think they need more light.  I don't know if we are prepared to really get into this growing from seed bit.  We need to be more serious about it. 

While 'home' for my birthday visit, Mom bought me some flowering plants.  

Purslane looks like a weed that grows all over our driveway.  That weed doesn't bloom and this one blooms like crazy. It like it. 

Begonias are pretty, but hard to keep alive.  I got some yellow ones, too. I wish I'd remembered to look for 'double' ones.  

Jim has onions in.
