It has been ridiculously nice the past week. A little chilly at night (we've had a couple frosts, unfortunately) but sunny and breezy during the day. So, I started my garden. I planted: [photos 1 and 2] some flowers in a hanging basket and pots for the front porch (don't ask me what kind they are, I just look at colors... and, frankly, I don't really like flowers outside because they attract bees and bees scare the hell out of me); [photo 3] broccoli and catnip (the catnip really didn't like the frosts); [photo 4] two different kinds of basil, two different kinds of lavender, and the chives sprouted on their own this year--yay!; [photo 5] lots of romaine lettuce; [photo 6] a rose bush that was initially used as a scratching post by the kitties but is actually starting to grow a little bit; [photo 7] blueberries, rasberries, and strawberries; [photo 8] a big tomato plant that didn't enjoy last night's frost; [photo 9] asparagus that I'm hoping will take; [photo 10] pear tomatoes that are supposed to grow like weeds; [photo 11] venus fly traps; [photo 12] more random flowers in a hanging basket; [photo 13] a hanging basket full of rosemary, dill, and thyme; and [photo 14] some left over flowers that my mom planted in the backyard... I also threw some wildflower seeds in that area. The only other thing I want to plant is some potatoes (I love that you can grow them in a garbage bag!) I can't wait til everything really starts growing!
