I met Dorothy online, she lives across the country from me, thousands of miles away. I mentioned that I loved violets and wished I had some. The next thing I knew there were packages of seeds for viola's (johnny jump ups) in my mailbox! I planted them and they grew! And they grew some more. And, they smiled at me all winter and they spread their seeds everywhere! I have them in the cracks of the sidewalk, in pots that I had not gotten to replanting yet and, little surprises popping up throughout my lawn. They are peeking out everywhere, what lovely little surprises!
Seeds Of Friendship
And now for the updates:
Here is a photo of the chain and hook I use to pot the upside down planters. It sure makes the job easier! (Sorry I missed putting it into the earlier entry)
I bought a new Concord Grape Vine today. I bought a dormant root plant earlier from one of the big Home Centers but it just didn't make it. I was so determined to establish a grape vine this year that I purchased another. this one looks hale and happy, hope I can manage to keep it that way!
Tomorrow we will lay the cardboard under the last frame and fill them all with Mel's Mix. Then I will begin placing the newspaper and tiles around the new frames. Preparation is all I can think about these days and the work I need to do to make these frames as low maintenance as possible throughout the coming growing season.
I'll be very busy tomorrow, "making hay while the sun shines" you know. I'll be doing my best to take a few pictures of the progress between all the work. I might not get to the photo's until the end of the work day.
Thanks for stopping by and happy gardening!
