Gardening For Real!

Namasté!

How's everyone doing?  I'm excited to report that I have just come in from planting several things.  I went to the Garden yesterday.  Deanna & her precocious daughter, Aubrey helped me out.  I got to see Maggie & Sheba, which was exciting.  The chickens were doing well.  I got a good vibe fix & bought:

• A passionflower vine. These are one of my favourite flowers & they seem to draw a lot of pollinators. All the flowers are for this purpose.
• A red penta.
• A reddish-pink purslane (which is edible, by the way). 
• A coleus with a purple spike.
• An angelonia with a purple spike.
• Summer squash seeds.
• Dill seeds.
• Waxbean seeds.
• Green been seeds.
• Amaranth seeds.

A friend of mine also gave me some beet sets.  I planted most of what I got in the garden.  The penta is in a big pot with some zinnias & the purslane in a windowbox with an ice plant, some sedum & a few parsley plants on my balcony.  Everything else is in the garden with the volunteer tomatoes & the basil.

I almost hated digging the holes to plant in because my garden is so full of earthworms & I didn't want to harm them.  I'm grateful that they'll be feeding my plants, which will hopefully feed me! 

I'll keep journaling in this blog about what they're doing.  I planted my beloved passionflower vine next to the fence in a very sunny spot.  Hopefully it will climb the fence & eventually I'll be able to enjoy looking at those gorgeous flowers when I come through the gate, which will also draw the birds & bees to pollinate.  

Take care & be well, be grateful & be blessed.  I came up with a cool thing: grateful = greatful.

Ashé!
