| My teeny little patch |
Yesterday I prepared my little garden patch by turning over the dirt with a shovel and putting in some compost to enrich the soil. By the time I got that far, I was exhausted, working out in the hot sun and doing my best to keep on going in order to get the vegetable starts into the ground. At that point, my friend Carter, who is the Chief Gardener in our community garden, came out to help me finish. Fortunately, we got all those little plants into the ground before this old lady (me) collapsed.
And then I watered them and headed into the apartment for some needed refreshment. After I finish this post, I'll go out and water them again. Although it doesn't look like I got that much done, it sure felt good, once I was finished. I'll be posting more pictures as time goes by, and once I get the final plants in, I can sit back and let the sunshine and water finish the job!
I am also working on my front porch flower garden, and it's coming along well. You will see that in the near future, too. It's that time of the year when everything is in bloom. It sure is a good way to bring one's sense of joy to the forefront. Let's now have some fun!!

Looking good!!! Looking forward to updates.
ReplyDeleteIt must feel so good to be working in the soil again. Yay for spring! And vaccine!
ReplyDeleteThis activity also helps to keep the head away from covid.
ReplyDeleteA good day's work.
ReplyDeleteLooking good. The prep work is the hard part. Glad Carter is still your leader. He is a keeper.
ReplyDeleteIn your full sun garden these little babies should be very happy. Watch them grow!
ReplyDeleteYay for the garden's beginning!
ReplyDeleteYour little patch is looking neat and weed free, ready to grow your lovely veggies. Enjoy watching them grow.
ReplyDeleteHopefully blogger will allow me to comment this time. Love your garden and look forward to seeing more. Gardening IS often hard work, but soooo worth the effort.
ReplyDeleteMy back hurts just looking at it. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a lot of work. But, fresh veggies will be a treat.
ReplyDeleteLooks oh-so-promising. But I know sunshine and water aren't enough. There's also weeding involved. Still, well worth it for those home-grown veggies.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I need to do some freshening up of my vegetable beds now.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing your garden grow!
ReplyDeleteYeah for a garden! Hope everything grows well! WE will plant about June 1st....so you are way ahead of us!
ReplyDeleteI do always delight in seeing your garden grow, DJan.
