Good Friday really was (good)

It rained all night Thursday and Friday, but the days were nice. A lot of plants went in the ground. The gate to the garden had to be installed 1st or Bambi would eat the garden. Bugs Bunny can still get in, but he doesn’t eat much. A big red-tailed hawk has been hanging around the yard, so we haven’t seen many rabbits this year. Why doesn’t it eat squirrels?

The greenhouse was way too productive. Loads of plants have been given away and there are still too many for the garden. Some of the tomatoes have blooms. All of the marigolds have blooms. Herbs are planted all over, but this year there is a dedicated bed for herbs in addition to the ones that are in the vegetable and flower beds.

Rotten Saturday was a beautiful day, but my father always said the anything planted on rotten Saturday would rot. The main thing we did on Saturday was pickup and situate the bees and get the front yard ready to plant grass. It is almost ready. Maybe grass will go in the ground today. Clover seed is being mixed with the grass seed to give the bees a little extra nectar.
