The best comes first today, with some guest photos from Steve and John’s bayside garden. We have been invited to visit for a social distancing tour, and we hope to go next week.
I spent the day potting up six tomato plants and a pepper. And I really do mean I spent the day, or at least a long afternoon and early evening, accomplishing nothing much but that.
I need to make a list of all my plant sale plants. Here are some…
In the background, Euonymus ‘Green Spire’ propagated from cuttings:
…and some alliums which I so hopefully potted up from purchased bulbs last fall, when the sale was supposed to be this weekend, since last year folks were so smitten with the alliums in my garden.
The alliums are backed with Persicaria bistorta ‘Superba’.
I must make a list.
Skooter found that a plastic flat made a perfect nap spot.
The garden in the evening…
Allan had mowed both the Norwood lawn and the Nora House lawn next door, including a path.
That back lawn is still too wet to mow without the mower sinking in! In Nora’s garden (Allan’s photos):
At seven PM, we planted cosmos in our volunteer garden at the Ilwaco post office. Sundays are the best people avoiding time there.
Allan’s photo:
It looks beautiful there, Skyler. And Skooter is having a great time in the sun! A pPlant tray is the closest thing to a box.
It’s been cool and wetter down here, still a bit too early to plant the tomatoes and peppers.

A lazy day of potting is never a bad day.

Did I imagine the Baywood Garden being for sale awhile back ?

I love the view from the bayside garden. Their rhodies are beautiful, too. Your alliums are so pretty.

Do you remember these? It was a very brief fad in about 1989. There was on on top of the television where I watched news about the Loma Prieta Earthquake. It was not exactly a cat in a flat, but someone thought it was a cool idea back then. http://lovemyearth.blogspot.com/2007/01/flat-cat.html
