Digging in the dirt

I just planted a pink climbing rose bush that I got at Wal Mart for $5! I'm hoping it will climb the fence and look like........

this.

I also ordered a few foxglove plants from a mail order catalog. I love foxglove. I hope they look like...

this.

I planted some fresh mint in an old blue tin bucket that I had,

and got the beds ready for vegetables.

Otis and Riley enjoyed being outside and digging in the dirt (or should I say mud). See their wiggly waggly tails?

I think we need to clean paws before going inside.

Time for planting

I picked up some seed packets at the garden center and I'm ready to go! I love this time of year when we can get out in the garden and plant our veggies and flowers for the season. Digging in the dirt is one of my favorite pasttimes and great therapy.

I've read that more and more people are planting vegetable gardens, and that when the economy is down, seed sales spike. Not a bad idea. Get that home grown flavor and save yourself some money at the supermarket.

I'm off now to dig in the dirt.

Have a great day!
