Gardening Update

I ran outside today while the sun was out for a minute (dang this crappy weather!) and dug the weeds/grass out of one more bed, in the back yard, next to our sad little Model T era garage.  I planted the rest of our annuals (some pretty geraniums and petunias) and stuck the rest of our vegie starts in between.  We still had a few little carrots and I think green peppers, so we'll see how they do.

Katie and I must be the world's only beings who FAILED at growing sunflowers.  Seriously, I'm pretty sure chimps can get these to grow, but our starts totes crapped out.  Happy news is that we have 4 potato plants poking out from our Garbage Can Potato Farm!

Lucy has discovered the compost bin, AKA the Woolworth Lunch Counter for Dogs.  Weirdo, there's only rotting veg in there plus dirt and grass clippings, but she seems to think it's Granny's Buffet.

well, considering Lulu's only treats ARE veg - it must be pretty exciting!!! :)

and i'm super annoyed about the sunflowers, may have to give it one more go now that the weather is getting nicer...

maybe we just spit the seeds out into a flower bed...

You are NOT the only ones! I think the B and Judy are the only green thumbs around. I have succeeded in killing most everything - except weeds!

I kill everything as well. Bah humbug.
