oh my gourd, it's a squash blossom!

also in the garden...

we have a bit of a bee issue.  any suggestions?

cucumbers and chard!!

so sunday i was whining my head off about how the vegetable beds are in the wrong spot, and they don't get enough sun, and why isn't anything growing, and whah, whah, whah.  eventually, c asked me to put a sock in it and calm the heck down.  he reminded me it had only been a week.  ah... right.

and, then, lo and behold, what do you think was waiting for me when i got home from work yesterday, not 30 hours after my little fit?


hot-diggity!  cucmbers and itsy bitsy baby chard!!  oh-em-gee. 

shosh, don't be jealous!  produce crossing state lines or not, i'm fedex'ing you my first harvest!

arugula!!

it's coming!  already, from seed!  such a crazy thrill!

planted

so i got everything planted today.  yea!  on the advice of friends, the cantaloupe didn't go in the beds but in their own special round bed on the ground.  i was told they are super hardy and can grow anywhere and will take over the bed.  so they're in the awful clay ground.  the cucumber (from seed) and three of the tiny yellow squash went at the back so they can climb the fence.  the tomatoes went in the front so as to block the others from the harsh afternoon sun.  threw a few random flower seeds in the empty spaces for good measure.  and a couple of gourd seeds in the cantaloupe bed for the same reason.  the other three squash plants went in my "secret garden" along the fence.

it's supposed to storm like mad tonight.  i hope all my little guys out there will be okay.  so excited!
