Earth Day, I think?
A Patio Garden. Using pots. Using Garden boxes (the rectangular boxes on the ground to the right of the suntanning bench. More than a dozen of them. (15) I use Garden Boxes and love them- the best part is the soil is re-usable year after year as it's not really "soil". It's inert matter and by sifting the organic matter- roots etc out at the end of the garden season and storing the dry "soil" (I use 30 gallon garbage cans with lids) you have soil for a lifetime. You add a packet of fertilizer each year. Then- just water, wait and grow.
You've seen the boxes on my driveway. The last time I had pictures here- Riley was supervising the watering. Not as much fun on my own. And last year we only filled half the boxes.
But I am really loving seeing all of them in this article photo--I might just fill all of mine. This year.
My herb seeds down in the fenced garden have germinated and I see evidence of infant dill and cilantro. The larger plants- marigolds are slower to get going. My rhubarb plants are up about 3 inches. Lovely mix of green and pink. I need to email Patty and see if her rhubarb is ready to pull. You pull rhubarb - no cutting. Patty's rhubarb plant is massive.
Weather here is alternating by the minute it seems- from sun to clouds to rain. We slept late today and just now eating breakfast- (11:30) and I am starving. So, a short post. Breakfast and then a load of wash. And then I'll check and see if my seedlings need water. Earth Day. Compost something.

It looks and sounds beautiful. Almost summer. Here, everyone's sprouts died in the night from freezing. Glad I didn't start the flowers yet.
