Growth

I should be folding laundry... What a wonderful and fulfilling method of procrastination you are blog. Thank you for that- I still feel somewhat productive. Speaking of productive... my darling little plants have been working hard. I really don't have much to do right now other than tend to the weeds and cheer on my little sprouts (nature has provided their baths and and beverages with copious rainfall this past week). Here are some before and afters (two weeks of effort on their part- and a few hours on my part).

Notice the Marigolds from Kmart... according to my mom, who did not so generously pass down her lovely green thumb, they will help with pest control. I think they are a merry addition to my little green soldiers. They are also a hardy frugal flower (frugal? yes, I think so- high yielding, low cost).

Before:After:We have a few more rainy days ahead peppered with sunshine. I'm hoping this will keep my plants happy. I just went and bought another trunkfull of peat moss for my second bed. Overzealous? Maybe. But this bed is already half full and I'm a relentless optimist.
