Garden, first trial
Apr. 6th, 2009 11:04 am
Puttering in the garden can go a long way toward making a weekend with no parties, excursions, movies or visits with friends seem completely worthwhile. heck, I didn't even get much written.
We did however, get an ugly blue waterproof tarp established over the flooring of the porch, and bought a bunch of herbs, veggies and flowers, along with some pots and a lot of potting soil. We then spent Sunday afternoon, until well into twilight, planting, planning, and setting up nets and hanging baskets. So we now have containers of:
Mint
Peppermint
Spearmint
Lemon Balm
Basil
Lettuce
String Beans
Tomatoes
Habenero Peppers
Cruel Thai Peppers
Bell Peppers (desultory, more out of tradition than any expectation of result)
Nasturtums
and a few other plants.
No wonder we were exhausted that evening. There's still a lot of arranging to do, but at least things are off to a good start.
