I don’t know about the weather where you are, but here in Southern Ontario it’s been up and down like a yo-yo. In the space of a couple of days we from “should I wear a winter coat or a spring coat” to “how little clothing can I legally get away with,” and as soon as I changed my closet over to summer clothes it got cool again. Every day’s a new adventure – warm or cold? windy or calm? dry or drizzly?
I did get my vegetable garden planted, and for the first couple of weeks it looked like this:
Then we got a whole day and night of steady rain and suddenly it looked like this:
Okay, this picture was taken like a week later, but you could almost see the seeds spouting in the rain. It was crazy.
For those of you curious about such things, the garden in the front has green beans, carrots, yellow beans, and peas. The garden at the back has the tomatoes my neighbour started for me (and who are NOT happy to be outside), beets, and pumpkins. I still haven’t found any pepper plants so there’s also a bare patch in there.
We were very happy that most of the plants in the pond garden came back up this year, and the plants along the back fence.
And we have a new addition to Kelsey Park:
Years ago I painted this horse for my father-in-law for the cottage, and when they sold the cottage it came back to me. The colours were not my choice and I fully intend to re-paint it when we bring it back in, but that will be a project for the winter.
