Dear Liza,
After lunch, I gathered up all my supplies. Gardening tools, several pounds of ground up egg shells, seeds, and lettuce seedlings I started in an egg carton all got piled in a box, and off I went.
The egg shells got worked into the soil for the tomatoes and sprinkled all around.
The delicate lettuce starts got planted while still in their cardboard cribs.
The five different organic cherry tomatoes got planted in their cages, in the sunniest part of the garden.
As I was working, a neighborhood cat (complete with collar and bell) came by to visit my catnip plant! She was very relaxed, like she was in her favorite pub. She barely even noticed me.
The ’shadier’ side of the garden, closest to the tall camellia bush, got sown with carrot, zucchini and radish seeds, so doesn’t look like much at the moment. I will keep you posted.
The dahlias got put between the sunflowers and the catnip, and boy, is that a full garden! Look at all that green! I am very pleased and will go back early tomorrow to make sure everything is okay. (I have learned not to be too optimistic!)
Love,
Grandma Judy
Dear Liza
