TAW progress and nature walk................


I had 2 choices: move all of the pieces farther to the left on this design wall, or start unpicking bottom half pieces.  I will be sewing the top and bottom half of each strip together and then start sewing them into sections of 7 long strips.  I can then just hang the sections farther left on the wall to make space to do the rest of the unpicking.






Now lots of the Evening Primrose plants are blooming.  They look great mixed in with the Hosta plants.






In another flower bed they are blooming near the first Stella D'oro Lily.  There should be more lily blooms if we get the rain that is predicted.  We are headed back into a drought with very little rain since the end of April.



The Petunias in the porch pots are filling out.  The self watering pots are working out pretty well.  I got 2 new little Begonia plants for 2 of the pots on the bottom shelf and got them planted yesterday.



When I was shopping for the little Begonias, I saw this tomato plant with 10 tomatoes on it and it was half price.  It had to come home with me.  I had just given away the last 4 extra tomato plants because I didn't have room for them. but...I made room for this one.






This was one of the special brand plants so half price was a deal.  I know the friends I gave 2  of the plants to read my blog, so they should get a chuckle out of this.

While I was at it I added 2 more pots to plant cucumber seeds in.  I'll have to get a photo of my garden row soon.





I planted the two red pots yesterday.  One has Coleus and the other has 3 different plants.  The pot in front with Coleus was a gift from the same friends I gave the 2 tomato plants too.  Coleus plants grow pretty fast so they should be filled in and growing taller soon.

The primrose does look nice blooming with the hosta plant. It was the siren call of a good deal on a plant with tomatoes already on it ;-)

The TATW is looking good - I like that I can remind myself those are 3" squares and not tiny ones. Your plants look marvelous!
