Those seeds that we planted that day have turned into happy plants!
A big bean plant and lots of nice calendula.
Its neat to see what perennial history an old flower bed has. I was totally curious what, if anything, would pop up in the bed beside the house.
Day lillies and columbine!
I moved them around a bit. my neighbor was digging up her tulips, so I snatched em up!

In this bed, I dug out some of the soil and put many wheelbarrow loads of composted manure that I bought off a cattle farming friend. its black gold.
This bed will have mostly edible plants I think. Herbs. mint, basil, stevia, parsley, cilantro, chives. then spinach, sweet peas, sunflowers, beans, daisys, lettuce, calendula...
Can not wait to get it going.
Here is the first meager color showing from a flower!

it aint much yet, but it does my heart good to see these things have survived.
