Garden 101: March

I planted my first garden on March 22nd. The left row is tomatoes, then strawberries and peppers, then a row of split peas and a row of squash.

Our grass and plants are waking up after the cold weather. There are even flowers on the knock out rose bushes and leaves on the elm.

I repainted the frame of this picture and hung it up in our bathroom. Pictures on the walls make a house much more like a home!

My sister gave me her old vanity chair for my little nook. It’s the perfect size, but needed a facelift. Here’s the after picture - I painted the frame satin nickel to match our hardware and recovered the seat to match the paint. It looks brand new!

We saw this really weird yellow stuff near one of our plants . . . thanks to google, we learned it’s a harmless fungus lovingly called ‘dog vomit’. Lovely. So, I scooped it into the trash and it hasn’t come back yet.

A week after Adam’s knee surgery, he was already getting around pretty well. Here was where he rested and kept his knee propped up.
