Gardens

Magic compost + wet spring = beautiful gardens


Doesn't that just make you want to sit down in a chaise lounge on the patio with a good book & a glass of wine? That's what it does to me! What I cropped out of the photo was the giant dog who wants to play and the two kids screaming for my attention. That would take away from the peacefulness this picture conveys, don't you think? There is no peace in this house until after about 8:30pm, when both kids are finally asleep.





The vegetable garden is looking pretty good too:

That's bok choy that's bolted on the right-hand side there. I think it's time to start over on the greens. It's been so cool & rainy that I'm thinking about starting more lettuce & spinach by seed. Normally at this time of year in Colorado, the seeds would just cook, but I think I may be able to pull it off this year.

My gardens

Our rainy spring, combined with the magic compost, has made my gardens go crazy. Downright tropical, I tell you. I need to take some pictures of the vegetable garden. It's rocking too, although the hail has pre-shredded most of our greens.

Signs of spring

In January/February. Crazy. We shouldn't be seeing this for at least another month, probably more. Let the annual J vs. deer battle begin!
