Q: What do you call four male goldfinches on a line?
(continue reading for the answer)
The vegetable garden is in! I planted Eggplant, cucumber, green peppers, beefsteak tomatoes, bush beans and broccoli. I can’t wait to watch as it grows and starts producing veggies!! I just loved cutting fresh broccoli last summer and steaming it – there is nothing better, no store bought broccoli compares!
We were lucky, I guess, in that I really didn’t have to deal with many bugs at all in my garden. This may have been because I use Cutter backyard spray on our grass to keep the bugs at a minimum – the spray lasts about 4 weeks, so we can enjoy our yard without being bitten or pestered (much)!

I am SO jealous of your yard! i don’t have enough time in the day to get everything done that I want/need to in mine. I had dreamed of a big vegetable garden this year, but couldn’t get the yard tilled in time, so instead I’m doing a serious of container gardens with what I have in pots. Will see how it goes and I’ll learn from it this year and try again next spring to get section of my yard tilled up for a veggie garden.
I have another section of my yard I tried to turn into a flower garden that I wish I could get under control. I’m going to take some time this week while its not raining but the ground is wet enough and see if I can get it all weeded and maybe do some transplanting of catnip to one section of it before begging for some flowers to plant in the rest for my mothers day present. 🙂
It does take forever, Ammie! I’m out in the yard all weekend, moving, weeding, mulching, digging – it’s a never-ending process, but it’s also the cheapest vacation this girl can get!
Containers work well – cheap containers are those tin/metal tubs at Lowe’s. I’m thinking about putting an herb garden in one or two of those.
If I lived closer, I’d be over helping! I just love getting dirty. :friends:
You Cheat!! I have all kinds of finches all over my thistle socks and waiting in the trees around them! I’m glad I read on, though – what a lucky person you are to have all of those WONDERFUL flowers!!! I hope your experience with the Dr goes well! Hope you get a good one!!
AMAZING! How beautiful!!! The one you’re painting? Just wow!
:rockon:
your garden is looking so great. I need to get started on mine…well we did cut down the tree that was blocking all the sunlight. but I need to turn the earth and probably add some soil to it too.
Beautiful birds and I am so jealous of your garden! The deer eat everything I stick in the ground here. Please stop by my blog to pick up an award.
Hilarious! I totally didn’t guess that.
Your flowers are looking so lovely! I can almost smell the lilacs, and those daisies are absolutely gorgeous!
