My guess is that I will have no trouble sleeping tonight, providing I can drag my sorry carcass from the living room into the bedroom. I planted, planted, planted this weekend. And then planted some more. This, after swearing that I would cut back on my garden. I wish I would listen to me. BUT, I did get tons done, so it was all worth it. But my house is in desperate need of a once over. If only those darn minions would appear - I'd settle for the housework fairy.

| Amethyst basil. I bought it because I didn't have enough plants in my garden. It was so beautiful I couldn't 'turn it down, Or its brother or sister... |
 |
| Buckets o' beans. To plant the remaining 10 tomato plants. |
 |
| Electronet finally went up, and the sheep went out. |
 |
| Hops vine. It's scary. |
You just keep right on a'plantin'. It's what we crazy, over-the-top, can't stop fer nuthin' gardeners do. I'm always sure nothing is going to germinate and grow, so I just keep putting in more and more . . . which I'm always sure is not going to germinate and grow. Funny thing, most of it does. Hunh.
ReplyDeleteMama Pea - Oh, dear Soul Sister! It's a sickness - that last seedling, maybe not too hearty looking, but still....
DeleteOMG, that amethyst basil is BEAUTIFUL! I've never seen that. I wonder if someone (hint-hint) might save the seeds this fall (hint-hint) and maybe put them in a seed swap (hint-hint) for others to be able to enjoy such a beautiful (hint-hint) basil plant in their own garden.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes. That hops vine is scary. Very, very scary. What does it look like in three months???
Carolyn - I know! You should see it in person - it almost glows! And who would that be, saving the seeds (as if) for someone (how many guesses do I get) to plant in their garden...? I will do my best.
DeleteSusan,
ReplyDeleteIt looks to me like you worked all weekend out in the garden.
Was your weather really nice this weekend?
I love the Amethyst Basil!!!
I say you give one dog the vacuum and the other a duster and let them take care of the house for you :-)
Glad to hear you had a very productive weekend.
Sandy - If the dogs weren't terrified of the vacuum cleaner, it just might have been an option... :) I'm thinking of fitting them up with dustcloth booties to see if that would help...
DeleteShoot. I just remembered that you sent me seeds – and I can't remember what I did with them!!!
ReplyDeleteMichelle - Just don't send them back!!!! :)
DeleteYou have to do the outside stuff this time of year. The inside stuff is for rainy days or snow days. I have a SPOTLESS house all winter.....in the summer, well, it's Dust Bunnies RULE!!!
ReplyDeleteSue - I'm sorry to admit that my house is never spotless, sun, rain, snow. But it's true - you have to grab those sunny (weekend) days whenever possible!
DeleteYour first paragraph made me laugh! I struggled with clean the bathroom or sit on the porch (ha ha!). Looks like you got a lot done.
ReplyDeleteKristina - Well, I hope the porch won out!
DeleteHmmmmmmmmm....and where might one go bar hopping in that metropolis?
ReplyDeleteSylvie - Hahaha. I suppose "hopping" would mean there is more than one watering hole (emphasis on "hole").
