Green!

I was gone for a few days and had dreams of lots of little green sprouts in my garden when I got home...Yes, it was only 3 days and 2 nights, but I was very optimistic.

When I checked my baby pumpkin plants, I discovered they didn't get watered while I was gone and I was a bit worried about their appearance.  They went into the garden in their peat containers and spent some time under the sprinkler last night in hopes of saving them and putting them into the ground today.
They look much better.  I'll drop them into their squares today and fertilize them.  Here's to some pumpkins this fall! 

As I checked the rest of the garden, I was disappointed to only see the green of the plants I purchased and planted last weekend.
But they look great and are a healthy green.  

Then I looked closer...
These little tiny specks of green will be a great lettuce salad in a couple weeks.  I always have way too much lettuce, so will be looking for a home for some of it so it does not go to waste. (no guinea pigs or rabbits to feed it to...)

This made my way, so I'm off to clean up so Tater and I can go shopping and get some groceries for the next 2 weeks and some final supplies to finish Dizzy's Bronze Award book I am putting together.

Be Happy! Be Healthy! Be sure to play in the dirt this weekend!
