Schools out for summer!!!I don't know if I have told you before but I am a special needs school bus driver. Today was the last day of school for the 2 different districts I drive for. NOW we can have more fun in the yard and garden and the BEACH! I was watering the garden late this afternoon and noticed I have small potato leaves popping out of the dirt! I have never grown potatoes before and am excited to see them grow. Hopefully we will be getting potatoes this fall. Since the storm the other day the weather has been gorgeous. Lots of sun and warmth. Everything in the garden is growing wonderfully. the peas are several inches taller then last week, the pumpkins, zucchini, and sunflowers and really growing fast and some of the tomato plants I put in last weekend have flowers! I am so excited. I love to see everything start to grow. And some of the grass seed we sowed last weekend has started to sprout. Last night I had the camera out and i took a picture of this new iris blooming. It bloomed the night after the big storm. I love the darker shade of yellow that this one is. 
On Saturday it will be time to mow the lawn again and I need to start putting in the rest of the tomato plants. I cukes are going to have to wait another week or so until I am sure it is warm enough at night. Everyone have a great night and weekend! This blog entry has been viewed 374 times

That irtis ids a lovely thing. The shades of yellow are really attractive.
I agree it's great to have time to spend in the garden playing in the dirt!!! It certainly sounds as though the storm cleared the air and let the sun shine for you. Your iris are a lovely colour - so glad they bloomed for you once the bad weather passed.
Lovely iris! It's nice to potter about in the garden and see what's coming up. I'm glad you'll have more time for that now.
Great to hear you have lots more time for gardening gardenmama, lucky you! Enjoy :) Login or register to leave a comment. |
