Big News!

Folks, here’s some real news. The sort that has been going on for thousands of years but never fails to thrill.

When I got home tonight it was a little later – too late to really do much outside, but I walked down to the new veggie garden. There, in the cold frame (just to encourage bunnies to stay out) was a nice sprinkling of leaf lettuce coming up! Whooo hoo!

Nothing gladdens the gardener like seeds leaping out of the ground as plants. So I admired the baby lettuce plants, thought encouraging thoughts towards the rest, tried to gauge about watering needs.

On the way back to the house, I stopped at the “workshop” and even better news – a second garden hose! So I can either get another hose and run two hose lengths down to the garden or run one and just fill containers…. thinking… thinking…. Either way though, the plants will be happy. And so will the gardener.
