This morning I went out to check on the garden! I'm pleased with how well the tomato and pepper plants are doing in the green house, so far! Since the tomato plants get truly ripe since I've been planting them in the green house, I'm hoping the peppers will be able to ripen too! I'm hoping for bell peppers that are yellow, orange, and red, instead of staying green! :) By planting 6 tomatoes instead of 8, it's made room for at least 4 pepper plants! :)
There are quite a few sprouts showing in the wide row! :)
Radishes are usually first to germinate, but I also see beets; ...
poc choi; ...
kale; ...
cucumber; cantaloupe; ...
corn; ...
yellow zucchini; ...
green zucchini; ...
buttercup squash; ...
and spaghetti squash! :) I usually don't grow spaghetti squash but I decided to grow it this year to try it with spaghetti sauce, in place of noodles. I see it used as a low calorie meal, and have decided to give it a try! :) If we don't like it, I have a sister who loves spaghetti squash, so it won't go to waste! :)
I'm surprised to see some of the flower seeds already sprouting too! :)
It was only 4 days ago that I planted them! :) Cosmos and ...
zinnias are springing up by the dozens! :)
What do we see? Fresh footprints ...
right through the cabbage row! :)
Mick and ...
Apollo have come to join me in the garden! It's a good time to lead them back to the yard! :)
Little Gerdy is watching from an overgrown flower bed. :)
She walked over and got some affection, until Mick became jealous and chased her away! :)
Meanwhile I aim my lens at some of the backyard bird activity! :)
This Tree Swallow looks pensive, ...
and here's our culprit! ... Apollo knows he can't get to them without them flying safely away, but he twitches his tail from below, watches, and dreams! :)
Mick joins me on the bench for a little affection and before long it turns into a brief photo shoot! :)
They've grown up to the sound of the shutter and often pose for me! :)
Apollo has given up on bird-watching in exchange for a little attention from me! :)
Time to put the Canon down and spend a few minutes with them before I get on with my day! :)
It's a typical morning, ... I'm happy to say! :)
It is fun to see how they are with you and ONLY you. Hey your the one that has been giving them loves all their lives! :)
ReplyDelete:) You are right, Sheana. :) It always does my heart good when they decide to let your dad and brother pet them. I think the ease they show with me would extend to others if there were others who had time to spend with them, and loved them as I do. :)
