We planted about half of the garden this week with tomatoes, cabbage, and honey rocks. It's too wet and cold to plant seeds so hopefully we will get warm weather next week to plant beans, peppers, and potatoes. The garlic, peas, lettuce, green onions, radishes, mustard greens, and onions are coming up great already. Lettuce, radishes, and green onions have made great salads!
You know, I kind of like planting like this -it's not so stressfull trying to do it all at once. Here are some of the 25 tomato plants I put in the ground. I hope the sun coming this week will help them a lot. Next to them I also planted basil and marigolds. Basil helps with pests and the deer hate marigolds, or so I'm told.
Yesterday, the chickens were out and husband needed help, like now. So, after helping him I replanted the cabbage. Wonderful, just wonderful. They look so small now!
We had a wonderful sunshinny Memorial day and planted flowers at my Mom and Dad's grave. Every year my granddaughter helps me plant...actually this year she did it all. So full of questions about life and death. Mom passed away 9 months before she was born. She would have loved her!
I noticed that the soil was very low by the headstone. I'm going to put a bag a soil there in the fall. I think all the rain did that.
How was your Memorial Day?

We stayed home for Memorial Day this year. Putting flowers on graves on Memorial Day is such a wonderful and old tradition. 💕
Your garden is coming along nicely! It’s so much easier to do it in steps like you’re doing rather than all at once. I hope it is a bountiful garden for you this year!
I hope that the grandkids remember this tradition and keep up with it when they are older. I'm going to wake up hubby in the hopes of finding great deals like you at garage sales today!
It rained and rained and rained on Memorial Day so we stayed in and couldn't even cook out like we planned. Granddaughter is sure growing up!
Slow and steady -it will all get planted and hopefully thrive.
Your garden is looking good. Glad you were able to enjoy some lettuce and salad already.
Sweet picture of your grand daughter planting flowers.
We had a cookout on the porch for memorial day since it was rainy.
Hope you have a good weekend.
It's hard to wait but it's for the best I know!
The rain needs to stop for awhile for sure...I'm sorry you missed your cooking out..that's always so much fun. Granddaughter is growing like a weed...Grandson is growing like a tree! Giants both of them.
On the porch sounds like a great solution for cooking...we got lucky on Memorial day but everyday since ...rain and cold. Summer will come..right?
