My veggie patch

veggies1

Over the weekend we had beautiful sunshine and warmth. I spent the whole weekend in the garden and it was bliss.

My veggies were ready to plant and so I enjoyed hours of planting, watering and beaming at my new patch.

I have planted runner beans, onions, spinach and red and green lettuce here and in our other flower beds I planted Cosmos, Marigolds and moved some Evening Primroses.

The salad is droopy here but now we’ve had more rain it’s perked right up. I wonder when it’ll be ready to eat. I need to read more in the gardening books lol.

Lovely garden patch! It's such a wonderful experience to nurture little plants and enjoy the fruits of one's labor. :)

Lovely! I love to go out and pick veggies to fix for our meals! Gardens are wonderful things.

just lovely!!! Some of the best foods come from your own garden. It just seems to taste so much better knowing that you had a part in "growing" it:)

Darling gardens! This will be so much fun to tend and watch it grow. Once the lettuce gets established, you can pick all you want but leave a few leaves to feed the roots so it'll continue to produce. Good eating!!

Yeah! Your garden is on it's way. A couple more weeks and I can plant my basil!
