A Walk through the Garden

Farm Girl in the Garden
is the theme for this week's Farm Girl Blog-a-thon!

Not the best timing for this theme, as we still have another week before we can plant anything safely. Also, we are still in the soil-prep process, and are still hardening off our seedlings. But I suppose there is a little going on...



Pansies on the front step. Our dog Buddy actually enjoys the smell of these and will  stop to sniff them when he comes outside.


Can you smell the lilacs?


Our arborvitae in the planting stage. We hope these will grow into a privacy hedge, and as they are each already seven feet tall, it is a good start.


Tomatoes! Other seedlings that are coming along are some peppers and herbs. We also have quite a few marigolds to plant around the border.


Due for another round of weeding and a whole lot of lime. It's hard to believe that in less than a week our garden patch will be thriving with life, Lord willing. Someone commented previously that this is a big garden, but let me assure you that not all of this will be our food garden, some will be grass and much of the shady area in the back will be flowers. Remember, it's just the two of us here!
