Another glorious day in the garden

Waiting to be planted
Phil and Deirdre Armstrong from Harvest Thyme Herbs came back to join us in working on our flower bed today.   They brought some absolutely lovely stuff to plant - irises, a peony, ornamental oregano (it's edible, just doesn't taste like much and has nice flowers) and cone flower.  We've only got about half of the bed prepped, but that half is looking great right now.

We'll be heading over to Phil and Deirdre's farm for garden club on May 24th.  I've sent information and a permission slip last week, so if you haven't gotten one home yet, let me know and I can send another.

In the vegetable be, everything looks fantastic.  Next week we'll have a few more things to stick in, but it's almost done for now.

Aoife and Emma hanging out.
If you're at school, it's well worth the walk the building to check it all out.  Or. . .  come on out on Saturday, May 28th from 1:00 pm until 4:00 pm for our Spring Garden Party.  More details will be coming shortly.

The weather today was great.  The clouds kept things from getting too hot and the rain will be welcome when it comes.  Days like today don't get much better.  We planted.  We laughed.  We ran around.  We got a bit wet (that hose seems to have a mind of its own).  Thanks, everyone!

Nice lilies!

Kayla was actually very sensible with the hose.
I was impressed with her restraint.


For some reason, this picture of Darius reminds of that old
superhero show, "The Mantis."  Not sure why. . .

Apparently, watering is so fun, once you get the hose,
you don't want to share.   Hmmmmmm
This is how people get soaked.


Michael starting another hole.
Stay away with that hose!
I wonder what's for snack?
