As I’ve run errands the past few days, I’ve been where plants have been for sale, and I simply couldn’t resist making a few purchases. Elegante Mother can’t pass up a pansy in the spring, so we had 29 plants waiting for some dirt.
\nYesterday, while we were out, I picked up potting soil so I’d be ready when I had a few minutes, to get some of those plants into the dirt. We have a large coir-edged basket at the front of the house, and I filled it with gerbera daisies, a purple hyacinth, and purple petunias. I may change that planting during the summer, but I needed to see some color at the front of the house.

\nI alternated yellow and purple pansies in a wrought iron basket lined with coir, too.

\nI had two lavenders, two rosemarys and three Italian flat-leafed parsleys to plant. I had just enough time to get the parsley into the herb bed last night before I HAD to start dinner. As it was, I probably should have waited for this morning to plant them, but I was on a roll! *G* It’s going to rain later today, and should rain through Saturday morning, so I won’t have a lot of chance to work outside for a couple of days.
\nDear Husband suggested that I look into the Haz-Mat suits made of Tyvek for weeding where I suspect I’ll find poison ivy. That’s not a bad idea at all! I don’t have my half sleeves made yet to cover below my wrists when I’m in the gardens. Maybe that will be my rainy day chore on Saturday morning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
