Planting is done,let the weeding commence

I have finally got everything planted and then some. I've got a few more plants than I planned on. I did not have the heart to throw out any of the living seedlings. I just took spare buckets that I had laying around and potted them up. We'll see, if they grow they grow, if not, at least I gave them a fighting chance.

It was a very busy time off, I was under some pressure to get everything in. We are leaving for Florida to see Tam's dad. He is not doing very well. He was diagnosed with cancer a short time ago. So I had to get everything planted so a couple of my special friends could do the watering. At first I thought things were going to have a hard time this year because we had so much rain, everything was turning yellow and not growing. Now that the sun has been out for a few days things are taking off. I think we could actually harvest some of the lettuce for a salad this week. We have already started harvesting some of the herbs. So here are a few pictures to show everything planted, hopefully in another month I can show you full grown plants

Finally, some serious planting to get done

So as you can see we have been very busy bees trying to get everything planted. I still have one more box to plant and everything will be snuggled comfortably in their summer home. So far I have planted, ready!

Tammy finished the trellis for around the tree, I love it, hopefully the morning glories will love it too.

So I should be done planting by next summer LOL, no should finish by next week and then the fun begins. Doing the Ws, weeding and watering. We have set up a drip irrigation in the 4 big raised beds but the small raised bed and all the buckets will need watering. So with all this digging and playing in the dirt I finally had to get the ole nail scrubber out to get the dirt out. Can't go to work with dirty nails, although my knees will never be white again LOL. OK, I shoudl get back to it. I'll write again soon hopefully everything will be growing. Take care and good night.
