had a bit of fun in the garden Monday…

there was a chill in the air, but we were able to install the arch in the side garden, and then I put up the trellises on the planter boxes…

the arch fits perfectly and it will be exciting to see what will grow up and over the path;-)…

while I was outside I managed to get the slinky back on the bird feeder pole and flipped the water barrel over…

started the day planting some tomato seeds and trying again with the datura, which hadn’t started a single sprout…

we will see if there are any sprouts this time… maybe one day it will be warm enough to plant outside, lol…

out into the garden this morning…

watered all the planters and baskets using water from the new water barrel…

watering by hand works much better than using the hose as I am able to see exactly how much each plant is getting…

also topped up the pond… seems like it needs filling about every third day…

this basket is doing the best… some of the others are a bit sad… the weather has been odd with boiling hot days and then really cool ones…

we won’t talk about the inconsistent watering, lol…
