Here are a few things I accomplished this weekend...Porch Pots for the back deck, made two:

The garden is 100% ready to receive. I pretty much know who is going where right now and there is a RUMOR of two more raised beds in my near future for flowers. Happy, Happy!

A mish-mash of lettuces and leftover tulips and daffs with Alium soon to bloom.

I love this time of year .... planning what goes where, getting the plants & putting them in, etc. The garden always looks so neat and tidy .... until everything starts growing!

You have so many raised beds ... I’m envious. I only have 4 & would like some more ... would love to plant potatoes & pumpkins & stuff that ‘sprawls’. Right now, I do plant a squash or two, but they quickly hog at least half the raised bed they are in.

This year, I’ve got the two smaller raised beds converted to a straw bale garden - should be planting in the conditioned bales this coming week. If it works out, I might do more of it next year - no weeds, easier to keep watered, the plants supposedly love the growing environment, etc. I was too chicken to try tomatoes this year in the bales so maybe next year if all goes well.

Thanks for sharing the pics!
