Today I ate four pods of peas!
There are tons of pods on, they just need to fill out!

What's blooming in my yard on the 18th of May?
Lots of iris are blooming. They only bloom for such a short amount of time. Quite a few on the back fence bloomed so I am happy about that. I brought in some deep purple ones from the south side of the house.
The peony is just starting to bloom!
Creeping phlox is just about done.
Dianthus is blooming in a few different places.
The peas are all blooming too! At least the sweet grean peas, not the sugarsnap yet.
The annuals are blooming too. The petunia that I bought at Aldi is finally starting to bloom. The Gerbera that are planted in the big pots by the front porch look amazing. The same blooms have been there for weeks! I guess they are happy with the cooler weather. The fuchsia looks very nice still too.
Some fertilizing for the annuals is in order this week to keep them looking great!

Green, Black and Garbonzo
Saturday planting:
Green beans - seeds saved from last year. (hoping that these come up)
Black beans - seeds saved from last year.
Garbanzo beans - seeds saved from last year - in box garden closest to driveway among the peas.
Planted four tomato plants yesterday.
1. By mailbox - yellow
2. Near zucchini plant where pine bush used to be.
3. Near other pine bush
4. In a row in the garden of the peas
Still need to get two plants for Helen. Decided to wait a little to plant more peppers. They don't grow too much right now so I can get them 1/2 price later.
Waiting to see if any tomatillos come up. There may be a few near the back of the house where they were last year coming up.
I think I have some cosmos coming up in different places.
Picked one iris today. Brought in a small lilac branch.
Picked a handful of spinach leaves. Would like to plant some more radish maybe.
Posted on Deals with Friends that I had Black Eyed Susans to give away. Two unknown to me people came by on Sunday and took plants from the garden area. Meg came by and dug up some from the front and out of the Phlox.
I pulled up a bunch from the garden where I planted beans and then thought that maybe someone would want some.
There are a dozen iris buds on the back iris bed. Lots of buds on the south side of the house. A few in the wall garden.
Still haven't planted the glads yet... need to get that done.
Planted some impatients in front of the house. Used soil that I took out of old hanging baskets. Used that soil too around some of the tomato plants that I planted in poorer soil.
Planted another annual in sun in a few places as well. Small blue flower.
