Well, my cheating heart got a deal on some $2 flats for pink petunias, purple vinca, polka dot plants, white with lav eye dianthus, pink, white and dark pink imps, mixed small head marigolds and a couple baskets at $2@ (one was a pretty peppermint double imp, then 2 were combos of chenille plant, lantana, some purple plant I have know idea and some others crammed in and some 25c 3 inch pots that got a nice selection of stuff for making more baskets. the 25cers were asperagus plants, licorace, blackie sweet tater vines, somvarigated creepy thing, some creepy purple plant all that I will have to note what they are on their lables. 18 of those in all. WHat a bargain!

I potted some 35 baskets this morning mixing the pink petunias, vinca, polka dot plants, purpl vincas and the white/lave dianthus, then poked in a couple flats of the dark pink and light pink imps in the cutting garden for border plants and moved around a bunch of pots. I absolutely need to get going and get my tomatoes situated and the zukes and cukes. I think my cukes are where they will be for the summer, they already wrapped their tendrils on the fence so they are gonna stay in the big pots and go for it. I will have to fertilze them.. My Loofas are needing their space to go to too...

I directed sowed the cantalopes,watermelons and punkins to those patches.. they were a wee weedy but in done.. no way we can culitvate them now so what comes comes.

Got out on the prairie and took some more pix...

Hope its not too humid tomorrow so I can do more work outdoors. I think I finally got hte bug to finally get gardening...been a tough start.

Man , now I have a ton of work and we just got a little over an inch of rain, so there goes mowing.

Soo , this gardening stuff, am I now overdoing it? I go in spurts...as I am able!

Heres that sunny in a basket.. go figure, it partnered with some strawberries!
