When I checked on the downtown garden yesterday, a pretty bloom caught my attention. I thought this new columbine would be light purple like the mother plant next to it, but it turned out much darker. Isn't it beautiful?
The neighbor kids and I yanked weeds from their circle garden a few nights ago, and Sweet Neighbor Girl asked how she could get some flowers in the newly-cleared space. I went to my seed drawer and she picked out zinnias. She got them planted, 1/4" deep, and will water them (I hope) while waiting about 10 days for germination. Trouble #1, who is hellbent on digging holes, was told to LEAVE THE SEED AREA ALONE!!! He ended up excavating a place nearby, so I suppose we'll go to the greenhouse this weekend and find something hardy to plop in that spot. No sense wasting a good hole.
Don't forget: May Basket Day is next Tuesday!!! : )
