April Showers... FINALLY!

We are getting more lovely rain!

WITH LIGHTNING!

Yea!!!!

Kyle and I dashed out to the garden

(we have a little garden table now!)

and planted a bunch of new lavender,

chamomile and ... something I can't remember

the real name of but we call them

feather dusters...

from seed!

We used 3 of our gazillions of egg cartons.

Poked a drain hole in the bottom

(with an ice pick)

and filled them with potting soil.

These seeds make YEAST look big!

"Plant 3 seeds in each hole".

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

We want to have flowers all around

the edges of the garden.

Beauty and to attract pollinators.

Jim stopped by yesterday after work

and toured the garden.

We decided to pick the (3) lemons

off the lemon tree to give it a better 

chance to grow this year.

And we are debating whether to do the

same with the orange tree. (8)

We walked out and took a look at the mango tree.

I got it from a co-worker - 7 or 8 years ago.

It's been through several hurricanes,

eaten by several cows,

but this year (finally) we have.... oh, approximately...

9,847,386 mangos.

I don't actually like mangos.

Jim said... huh. I don't either.

But then I've never had one fresh right off

the tree - probably a whole different fruit!

Anyhow.

Rod worked this morning but he is home now.

It's nice to have him here!

We'll probably sit on the couch together and

take a nap.

Have a beautiful Saturday!
