Back in the Garden

Saturday John and I took some household goods to an online auction business we have bought from previously. Stuff people have given us but we have no use for.

On the way home we filled the now empty truck when we stopped at a farm estate auction I have never bought before, but I went a little overboard new retro table chrome with green ice Formica square with 2 extra leaves to extend, 2 small kegs to plant flowers in and place on either side of the porch door and finally a retro metal cabinet with an art deco feel. Total $62.50  The table alone is worth about $250.
I spoke with my mum and in a not so surprising twist a comment which I expected empathy escalated into an argument yay not.  Ironically at the end of the conversation I was not angry but a little outraged and hugely incredulous.

Sunday we intended to go to church but the day got away from us Johns mum came over for coffee, its her birthday, then I had to finish decorating her cake and desserts, Easter themed cupcakes. While John worked on my Greenhouse, he has designed and built from scratch.

So a month ago John and I tried to get an early start on planting, but the rains and subsequent snowfall have almost killed most of our early work. Not one carrot or parsnip came up. But we have had 7 pea plants appear.

So yesterday I replanted the peas and some additional Rhubarb. I also planted some Gladiolas in the white garden.  My aim is to have perpetually flowering white blooms.  It may take a few years.
