A bit more planting today. I managed to grabstick the container into place without bending far. Wildflowers just scattered to take their chances, and zinnias in the pot, with squirrel deterrent installed.
I discovered another bag of potting soil in the process, good. More planting when I recover. This is definitely piecemeal gardening, but I'm glad to be able to.
Back in March, when I got the seeds, I hoped I'd be able to do this by late May, and I'm a bit ahead of that hope, yay me!
I walked earlier, carrying but not using Carol Cane, and admired neighboring plantings. A bit wet, after all the rain, for much walking on the grass, though I did some, and got wet feet, shoes now drying out.
Down the street, my neighbor's area is just booming
Happy day everyone! Doing just a little bit is happier than not getting to it at all.
Now for reading, plenty of good books loaded and ready. And maybe I'll watch the latest Atomic shrimp on YouTube.
He makes the most ordinary things interesting to follow. Who knew I'd enjoy an entire video on can openers? Today he's setting up a small irrigation system in his yard. It's a must watch!
You are intrepid and amazing! Well done. And I love your neighbor's garden too.
ReplyDeleteThey do a nice job every year.
DeleteSmall things mean a lot. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteYes to that.
DeleteYour neighbor’s garden is a beauty. What a nice thing to see on your walk.
ReplyDeleteThere are quite a few little gardens like this in the neighborhood. They're lovely to see and chat with the owners if they're around.
DeleteYour neighbors garden is a beauty. You certainly are on the mend in the fast lane! A very determined woman.
ReplyDeleteI'm doing well. And I love the little gardens.
DeleteYou are doing well, and neighbour’s garden is quite a lovely sight.
ReplyDeleteIt's really nice to walk for exercise but get views like this.
DeleteIsn't it wonderful when someone's obvious joy and pleasure in gardening leads to joy and pleasure for all of those who pass their yards?
ReplyDeleteIt's so appreciated.
DeleteClearly, your neighbour is an avid gardener! Beautiful display of blooms!
ReplyDeleteMore of a plant nursery shopper, but it does look nice.
DeleteGreat progress. I like the promise of your scattered seed rather more than the formal garden - colourful though it is.
ReplyDeleteI really like seeing the different wildflowers coming up here and there. I find it more interesting than a formal setup.
DeleteThat's a pretty garden but somehow I think yours will prove to be far more interesting. I'm very glad that you're able to plant yours and that you're mended enough to do so.
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely to be able to. I wasn't sure.
DeleteI have those same seeds. Waiting for the rains to let up before potting them. Your neighbors yard is beautiful. Take it easy and only do your limit.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to avoid overdoing. It's not easy, since over doing is my default!
DeleteI watched the Spanish sparrows!
ReplyDeleteGood old Shrimp!
DeleteThat is a beautiful garden. I like your scattered seed idea too.
ReplyDeleteI see a few flowers from last year appearing again, so I scatter in hope.
DeleteGood that you're getting about.
ReplyDeleteIt's feeling great. Trying not to overdo.
DeleteAll your effort will mean lots of beautiful flowers for you, and the insects, to admire
ReplyDeleteYour summer is going to be very colourful
That's my hope. The weather will probably decide though.
DeleteYour neighbor has beautiful plants around the house.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you managed to do a little outside work. Yes, a little is better than nothing at all. I think that's my life's motto--LOL! :)
I think you and I are in tune on that. In time past I used to think 200% was hardly adequate. Not now.
DeleteYour neighbor's garden is magnificent. I've done so much planting in mine, but what I know is that it will take years before it fills in anything even close to that.
ReplyDeleteThis development is over 30 years old, so the original shrubs planted by the developers have been added to over years.
Delete"Who knew I'd enjoy an entire video on can openers?" With that sentence, I'll have to check out Atomic Shrimp.
ReplyDeleteSo happy that you're out planting and walking!

PS I completely agree on your AI statement from yesterday.
Shrimp is an interesting man with a very good narrative voice, I think you'd like his channel.
DeleteAtomic shrimp sounds interesting. Some people have the knack of making even the most commonplace things fascinating.
ReplyDeleteHis own interest drives the narrative, and he's developed quite a following.
DeleteSounds like you found a fun channel. That's cool.
ReplyDeleteHe's worth a visit. He has so many interests and he does very good postproduction.
