in Bloom

The fruit trees are starting to bloom in the yard- the wind today blew alot of blossoms off on to the ground. Yes that is a dandilion flower.


The tulips have changed fast- here they are on Tuesday and Thursday in the same patch (I planted them the first fall we were here)Today the narcissis started to bloom.












The orange flowers are the first to bloom in front of the summer kitchen. The ladies dug it all up this spring- one big lupin and the iris and these guys survived, maybe a lily.......and my rose bush....












I have started working on one of the beds by the grape vines, near the tulip patch to plant in perennials I guess.







These sad looking tomatoes and peppers are the ones I transplanted in the garden yesterday- Garry brought the little bare rooted guys home from the market- it looks like they may mostly make it. Rain in the forecast for Saturday so I planted two more rows of beans, beets and cucumbers to go with the stuff planted before- if we get a good amont of rain we won't be able to walk in the garden for a week.

No corn planted yet- they couldn't borrow that 30 year old corn planter until Saturday morning- and the forecast calls for 100% chance of rain in the morning.





Garry is limping around after stepping on a nail this morning while taking the forms off the cement walls in the brewer grain pit. Ouch... He then went for a meeting with the mayor with guys from the Mennonite Brethren project- they would like to build a trade school in the village and are looking into the old collective buildings for a 200 cow dairy to support the project- which Garry would set up and manage. Lots of meetings, not much progress yet in getting control of the building site.
