Today is one of those days I long to be outside in the garden rather than working. It's overcast and warm, but not blazing hot... so it's a good time to be weeding or planting or something that adds green to the yard.
Ahhh... in a perfect world, right?

This weekend, we decided to celebrated my husband's new job with a trip to my favorite local nursery, and I actually managed to restrain myself from bringing home everything I saw.
Since my seed-starting efforts were flat, we picked up more seedlings to fill in the last remaining spaces in the garden -- cherry tomato, verde tomatillo, watermelon, 2 summer squash and cantelope. MMMMMmmmm...
And check this out, since we've been harvesting and eating the chard, the remaining leaves have gotten huge! They're gorgeous!

Next weekend, I'm hoping to start on a long-planned and long-procrastinated garden project. I often mow the lawn, and I REALLY hate mowing between the garden beds in the front. My plan is to dig up the grass for paths rights around the beds and fill in the space with decomposed granite. Eventually, I would like to put a short fence around the garden just to dress it up a bit, but that's way down the line. I figure it will take me weeks of digging before I should even order the DG.
I should have some very strong arms by the time I'm finished digging, too.
