Today we went to the Falls Dam with Zabrina and Ali and ran into the Shaws while we were there. The girls really seemed to enjoy themselves and the picnic.
When we got home Sue and I did some yard work while the girls rested. Feels good to get all the things we bought at Broadwell’s Nursery in the ground. Only 1-2 yards of mulch left to spread, though I think we need about 5 more to complete the back yard.
Then I weeded the garden and planted the marigolds and tomato plants. Unfortunately the cauliflower and broccoli aren’t doing very well (only 6 plants germinated). The carrots are starting to gain some momentum so I’m not as nervous as I was a week ago. The peas seem to be doing very well but I’m trying not to get too excited because last year the plants looked great but didn’t bear any fruit. The romaine and mesclun lettuce should be ready in 1-2 weeks – can’t wait for fresh salad!
