tomatoes planted

Primrose is so prety!

So this weekend I'm in vegas (see Melanie's blog), so I thought I would post about last weekend's garden exploits.

I got six of my tomatos planted (Purple cherokee, brandywine, lemon boy, green zebra, brandy boy, and pink pineapple)! Yay. Cathy helped. I splurged and got Wall's o water for them because I like to baby my tomatoes like that. Oh and maybe because I'm impatient too.

Now theres only 12 left to plant

Cathy helped me clean out and prune back the herb garden so its looking much better too.

I didn't end up doing too much since I had gotten my eyes re-lasered. The good news is it "took" this time. The bad news is the right eye took too well and now is having a tough time seeing up close. But that will adjust over time and I feel its getting better already.

So once the weather warms up then I will get more done. I think I saw the first potato start to stick out. Thats soo exciting. its been hard to get any gardening done with all the snow and rain. darn it. But I know the water is good for the ground. It makes weeding a bit easier.

My little cherry shrubs are blooming like crazy. They may all be frozen since it keeps snowing, but they sure are cute.

This next week I really need to mow as its getting to be a jungle in patches. I also need to finish weeding the firepit, since the primary kids will have a party there next Saturday. And hopefully it will be warm enough soon to plant the eggplants and peppers and squash and melons.

My Amarylis has been blooming for almost a month because it spread out the bloom time of the different buds.
