After months of making hors de oeuvres and preparing for birthdays and holidays and company and a whole New Year, today was the perfect day to get back into the garden.
Kallie and I spent the afternoon in the sunshine — it was 78 here — and got some work done. In between playing with dogs, bike riding, writing and painting with watercolors, she helped me plant some seeds.
I planted a row of radishes in the veggie garden, and she planted a Big Boy tomato, some Genovese Basil and some Sweet California Wonder bell peppers in little pots to go into the greenhouse for an early start. We’re crossing our fingers…
I also planted some orange ditch lilies that were a gift from Lori at The Gardener of Good and Evil.

And then I planted a fistful of Larkspur seeds that were generously given to me by MSS of Zanthan Gardens.
And I planted what I think are Crinum Lilies, given to me by one of my dear blogging friends on our adventure to Peckerwood, but now I can’t remember who shared them with me. Help – if you are my generous friend, please take pity on my poor memory and let me know and remind me what kind they are. (I have a terrible memory…it’s a wonder I can garden at all sometimes!)
All in all, a very good day!
Diana, All in all a good day! The weather sounds wonderful, we had temps in the high fifties and I was thrilled! Enjoy your weekend. Gail
It’s good to garden, isn’t it? Now I’m dying to get some scrapbooking done, too! Tomorrow night will hold a birthday party sleepover of 4 six-year-old girls — that should be a hoot! Sending you sunshine.
I envy you working out in the garden on such a beautiful day. I was stuck inside at a bridge tournament I had committed to weeks ago. Tomorrow, though, is my time for outside. Nice to see what’s going on in your greenhouse.
Lancashire Rose — It’s a bummer when you plan something indoors and it turns out to be a lovely day, isn’t it? I hope you can get outside some tomorrow. Even though they are forecasting the possibility of rain, I’ve given up hope!
How lovely that you came by to visit me, and how lucky you are to spend a day with your hands in the soil, as you go gently into the New Year! 😉
Hi there 🙂 Just wanted to let you know that I have chosen your blog to receive the Premio Dardos award. I received this award a while back and I took my time picking 15 of my favorites and yours was always in the lead. I love your blog, it’s informative, interesting, and very fun to read 🙂 You can get this award at the top left of my blog, simply copy and paste to your blog, then when you have time, decide on 15 of your favorites to pass it to.
Thanks 🙂
Gracie
Pamela Jane – I loved your blog — and shared it with one of my scrap/blogging buddies. I’ll be back to visit again.
Gracie – thank you – how sweet. It never ceases to amaze me when I learn people are following my blog. I will humbly collect my award after I spend some time visiting your blog. I went by for a quick look, but will have a nice visit now that I have some time to spend.
Ah you have given me hope that a beautiful spring day will happen here.
What fun you and Miss K had in the garden.
Lisa – we did have a great time. And it’s a good thing we took advantage of it, too, because it’s 45, windy and cold here this morning. The high tomorrow will be 44 with rain. So, now I can turn my attention to indoor stuff again. Sure enjoyed the outdoors, though! I hear you’re supposed to have snow Weds.
Heck yeah that was a good day,love seeing all that you and little one accomplished.
Darla – It was so great to be outside. And then today, we were bundled up inside! Thanks for visiting – have a good weekend!
