the garden is in...

If you live in the Midwest you know that Spring is really late in making her appearance this year. I kept putting away my Winter clothes and then pulling them out again. That more than likely means that we will skip over Spring entirely and jump right into Summer. But it is time to do the Spring planting.

While I cannot remember ever really having a garden I do like a few plants... Early Girl and Roma tomatoes, basil and chives...maybe some peppers. Each year here I unsuccessfully plant. We don't really have good sun for veggies. But last year our neighbor took down her falling down boathouse and we reclaimed 5 feet of land. And a new patch of sun. So this year I will try the container garden here. It is does not work then next year it goes up on the guest room balcony...

This will be our third Summer here. I am starting to know what to put where. I put half a flat of red impatiens in the front door urn. Next I'll do the same around the tree in the deck... today I should get the rest of the pots out of the basement and start pondering those.
