Mom came over last night with an amazing roasted veggie pasta topping – yum! We started off the gardening season with the best reason for having a garden… fresh veggies.
Together we planted spinach, lettuce, radishes, onions, and garlic. She showed me how she mixes the lettuce seeds with corn meal to help evenly disperse them. We watered everything thoroughly last night and again this morning, and with a 70 degree sunny day, the little seeds should be off to a good start. We’ll see!
Mom pointed out how the day lilies around the well pump are in need of help. We dug up big clumps of them and pulled out grass roots and weeds while separating the little bulbs from each other. She was right – they were packed really tight and showed stunted growth. I’ll finish that job tonight.
A few weeks ago Ryan brought home 4 rose bushes for us. I was afraid to put them out too soon, but I learned that they need to get in the ground ASAP! They are bursting with new growth already – very cool. Add “create rose bed” to the list!
