A Quick One

I had a good friend of mine move into her and her hubbys new home this last weekend. Very excited for them, yet envious. I love our home, but if I could move in again, I would do it all diffrently. We can't live in the past though.

The Dhalias in the front lawn are still blooming, I take cutting almost every day. I have several vases around the house full of them. I wish the red dhalias were too, but thanks to my mommy brain, I nearly killed the poor bugger during the last hot spell. And from what reading I've done about dhalias lately, it's time to split their bulbs. I figure this out, AFTER replanting them! Of course!

I tore down everything in the garden. The tomatos I allowed an extra week after pulling out the eggplant and the cucumbers, just to give the fruit a little more time to swell. I must have plucked two dozen unripened fruit from those bushes. Next year, I will plant the tomatos up a lattice on the side of the house, where they will get much more heat. Excited for that!

I layed down three rows of spinach, one row of kale, one row of brocoli raab and four rows of mini carrots in plot B. Plot A is resting this season, so I tilled the soil and scattered buckwheat. This si my first experiment with buckwheat, and I am anxious for it to start taking root.

Levi has started giving BIG hugs! He will see that Brendan is coming to take him from me, and he will squeeze me tight and bury his head in my neck as if to say "Nooo! Mommy!" It warms my heart.
