It was a beautiful day yesterday, and amid watching 3 kids (they were on the playscape totally entertaining themselves for 3 hours!), I got a LOT done in the garden.
First, I amended the soil with compost and planted two rows of lettuce – some sweet Mesclun mix and another Green leaf, and a nice clump of Cilantro.
The strawberries are growing like crazy – that’s what’s covering the ground on that whole corner of the bed and flowing out into the path. See the 1 little orange Nasturtium bloom on the left?
So sad. My basil tree succumbed to winds this week and split and broke. I cut off some stems, but these are still alive, so I will leave them until I can have a mega-pesto making day. Pesto anyone? We’re not such big fans, so I’d be happy to share!
And here I planted 3 leeks and some parsley.

A pleasant day in your garden! I have taken time off and need to get back out there…leaves are everywhere! Always something, right! Have a good week!

The greenhouse looks awesome! This wind is driving me and my plants nuts. All my roses have little broken necks. Grrr.
Gail – We have a gazillion leaves now, too. Gusty 35 mph winds for 2 days as our first real front of the season blows in.
Libby – Poor roses. I haven’t looked at mine. I’m glad you alerted me – I will go check on them tomorrow. Will they survive if it freezes?
