I took my morning coffee out the back door to watch the morning sun on the layered garden.
Having a day off, I had time to enjoy it. Just BEING there.
Things are growing better this week, as the 3 weeks of rainy days are now over! Here (below) is a red bell pepper plant, verbena and cilantro.
Here is the tomato (Beefmaster) which was having trouble last week. It seems to be better now that all the bad leaves were removed (a week ago). My little marigolds brighten every place they are in!
Gardening, for me, is now about having the little garden to watch and wonder over....more fun than just "counting" on the possible harvest. We have harvested some baby lettuce so far....This is a good attitude for me, as below you can see that my radishes, inspite of having more than 35 days and not being too crowded made lovely leaves, but no radish "bulge" on the root. [ See that skinny shadow???]
I'm off to buy some fish emulsion. I do hope I eventually harvest some tomatoes...and I might pick up a zucchini plant while I'm out.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This afternoon, I have a tiered skirt to finish sewing. Also a rice pudding to bake! No end to the projects here! [Thank goodness!]

Visiting your blog for the first time. How lovely! I enjoy watching things grow in the garden. And yum to the rice pudding.
I love busy days, too. The rice pudding sounds yummy!
Your garden looks great Lila. I can't wait until School is out (next week) I'll have time to work/play in the garden!I started some radishes in the window and had to move them outside....WHEW they stank really bad.
LOL!!
Everthing looks so good. I love to see things grow. We will not have a veggie garden this year...but I will be tending my flowers.
Happy Spring, Mary
