Garden Thursday

Hello and welcome to Garden Thursday. We are getting some better weather, not as rainy and not as cool. Mum can come outside and not need a jacket!

 Mum hung out a new wind sock, the old one was falling apart. Trout Towne will like this one as it has fishies on it.

 

 The one maple tree has lots and lots of seeds to come down. That means lots of new trees trying to start growing. Plus one of our purrty two-lips.

Now mum biggified the next picture as much as she could. Do you see the one little tree trying to grow? It is on the front porch by the letter box and is growing in the leaf bud covers. Mum has been sweeping lots but obviously not enuf!

 The hostas in the front and doing good and mum needs to work on the weeds!

Then Wednesday mum went off to help at the community garden. They actually had a few spears of asparagus. For those who don't know it takes several years before you can harvest these little guys and then only a little bit each year. But they actually have spears, not just the fern this year.

 

 They got four new beds to replace the ones that the paint was failing. You can see the old ones piled up in the background. The new ones are plastic, so mum hopes they don't fade much in the sun.

 Then they started laying string to show where each square foot is as they are doing square foot gardening this year. Depending on the plant you can put one or more plant per square. Like one tomato plant or 16 for carrots, 9 for peas.

 The just as mum got home the village guys where showing up to collect our brush. The pushed it out on the street, then the big truck scooped it up and dumped it into the truck. Mum is happy the brush is gone, even though she has a few places she would like to still trim back. Oh well, mum will have to haul that off herself.

 

 

 As you can see it was a bright and sunny day. That made us all happy.

Love, Virginger, Glimmer, Trooper and Fleur.
