Yes, Connie, chicken boots do make gardening fun.
Went to Kelly's fruit & veg stand today and bought one six-pack yellow marigold and four six-pack yellow portulaca which is one of my all time favorites.
Nine portulac plants are for the strawberry pot. The others in pots along the sidewalk to house. If I have any plants leftover they will go in a wall planter at back door which opens onto the deck.

Today.... we transplanted 2 fig trees, 2 Hibicus and 1 Hydrenga...
We had to dig them up last Fall. The gophers were trying their best to get to the roots....
A good watering and a dose of vita-B and hopefully they will survive being transplanted...

We've planted carrots, green beans, tomatoes, okra, parsley, onion tops, and cucumbers. Can't wait to harvest!

My chickpeas germinated beautifully and are just about ready to transplant, tomatoes, beans, broccoli and lettuce are also all doing well. I finally made my garden plan for the year, so I know where everything should be going, BUT I don't have enough bed space for everything I want to plant. Might just have to make more beds.
