Time Management

Ahhhhhh ~ to be young and full of energy .... !!

The weeks have just flown by here on Magnolia Lane as I continue to work outside.  It just seems the fresh air and exercise find me exhausted at the end of the day.  Time spent on the computer has been researching planting vegetables, using a cold frame and anything having to do with gardening.

I was so excited when my Survival Seeds from Hometown Seeds arrived and I have been working out on paper what would be the most effective way to plant in the space I have available.

The seeds came with planting instructions so I know when and how to plant them.  This vegetable garden is so new to me and I want to make sure I learn as much as possible before just sticking seeds in the soil :)



I have been daydreaming about grabbing a basket and going into my vegetable garden and "pickin'" some green beans or tearing off some spinach or lettuce!!! LOL




And I just can't even imagine being able to harvest one of my favorite vegetables ....  butternut squash YIKES!!!



Of course in addition to my excitement over my first vegetable garden, the work continues with my flower garden and it truly has been beautiful this year ...

A back yard of blooming Jonquils with enough to cut and bring inside.





Fragrent Lilacs ...


Flox, Flox and More Flox!  (hmm,  that crack in the driveway AND sidewalk sure looks bigger in a picture LOL!!)


English Daisies


And one of my all-time favorites ... Bleeding Hearts




A garden is never finished and seems to take different shapes as the years go by and I look forward to sharing my progress with my new adventure ... Vegetable Gardening.

As always, thanks for stopping by even though I haven't been around much lately.

I am so excited for you! I love my veggie garden and every year at this time I feel that anticipation of planting my favorites and watching the them grow!! To me, the planning of the garden is every bit as fun as the harvesting!

I wish you much luck and many happy hours!

Wow! look at the stash you got there. Your flowers are beautiful! I love bleeding heart also. Is it annual or parenial the bleeding?

My mother always grew butternut squash and we made pies from it and I do think they are better and finer-grained than pumpkin pies!

Your garden is lovely. Can't wait to see your veggie plants sprouting!
