After work today

I'm the evening administrator for the bar review course. It confuses the other people who show up every evening and Saturday afternoon because I'm not listening to the dvds. Since I have another year of law school and am not an auditory learner, I am catching up on fun reading and crossword puzzles.

Before work today I'm dropping stuff off at goodwill and going by Farmer's Market. Then after work, I'm working on my plants and my deck. I may add a water feature so I can have some of these.

Spring Planting

For the first time in my life I bought two plants that will produce edible products. Two small jalapeno pepper plants help me enter the world of gardening. I also bought two lavender plants and mint. Plus marigolds, hens and chickens, and a dusty miller. I still have the fountain and the front patch to plant. I also have two large clay pots that I am going to use for my first foray in container gardening. On my fence hang several planters but I'm not quite sure what to do with them. This face belongs to a terracotta planter hanging on my
fence but I'm not quite sure what to plant in her. I don't want to detract from her medieval qualities.


The area I have to plant is just about the right size for me. I have a small deck and then a small yard. I don't want to put down anything permanent so I'm content with containers. I am thinking about a rose plant, just to see if I can do that. Rose moss goes in the fountain, unless I decide on begonias. Then the rose moss will go in the front garden patch. Many of my plants from last year survived so I moved them to the deck. Just in time for the torrential downpour we've had for four days. I don't think any of them drowned but will have to wait and see. I also bought some seeds and can't wait to plant them. It has been a long time since I planted any seeds.

I just hope they all live.
