Garden Update

Last Saturday was Andy's 25th birthday. We celebrated it and the warm sunshine by getting up early and going to the nursery. We bought more flowers and some peppers. In the third from the top, third from the left, picture you'll see Ms. Serrano and Mr. Banana Pepper. You can see that the peas have gotten huge and the carrots have sprouted. My tomato has also grown a lot. And I got sunburned on my shoulders.

This is only my second garden so I have a lot to learn - like don't put a whole packet of carrot seeds into two short rows. The basil is recovering from the hail storms we had a few weeks ago. If I had really been thinking about it I would have brought them in those days. As it was, the hail came suddenly and I was at work.

Protecting the plants is Sir Dragoonfly. He keeps a good eye on everyone.
