Yard Walk

I plan to do a walk around my yard every morning, weather permitting, to see what is happening. This time of year things change so quickly!

First up is the garden. It is small but just right for the two of us. Most of it is in two raised beds.

 In this bed are radishes - red ones and white ones, green beans, mixed wildflowers, mini cucumbers. 

 

In this bed is a cherry tomato (Husband will only eat fresh tomatoes in a salad so one is enough for me), sugar snap peas and one row of radishes on the left of the peas. I added a trellis for the peas to climb.

This year I have planted some things outside of the raised beds.

Mini cucumbers by the north bed. Most of them are inside the wire cloche (because of the rabbits) but the ones outside of it are doing well.

Cantaloupe in this bed. There are six cantaloupe plants scattered in there amongst the phlox, sunflowers and other wild flowers, and roses. The roses which we thought we removed because they weren't doing well have reappeared. It will be interesting to see what happens here in this bed this year!

I do have a zucchini plant that I haven't decided where to put yet. I do need to get it in the ground soon, though.

And, now for the flowers!

I got two of my railing planter boxes planted. I did not buy nearly enough plants to plant all my boxes and not enough to plant them as full as I would like. Maybe next time I go to the store, whenever that will be. 

There are several of these in the front bed but this is the first one to bloom. It is a Spiderwort, but we call it Ditch Flower because these grow wild in the ditches around here. 

 

The peonies are sooo close to opening!

This is what they looked like last year.

The Weigela took a hit from the frost which makes the leaves look less than pretty, but the flowers are still nice.

In the sewing room I made one of two different blocks for the #4 border of Designer Star. There will be two of this block in six colors and two of the second block in six colors. 

There are thin solid borders between the pieced borders. I will get all the pieced borders made before I add the solid borders just to make sure it all fits together well.

Stay safe and well.
