A Little Done - A Lot To Do

Yesterday, I have spent several hours pulling out the weeds from the vegetable garden, I do not want to use any kind of chemical.
This morning I have dug the garden beds to loosen the soil and early in the afternoon I have added some plants.
I have started by planting basil, hot peppers and tomatoes. The lettuces are already grown up and many herbs are perennial, so no need to take care of them.
Tomorrow I will add some more plants.
This is a perfect season to work outside, sunny and yet not too warm.
Do you like gardening?

@crazyhorseladycx We have rainy months, like November and April, t would be a shame to waste the water. Sometimes during summer we have water restrictions.

We hope the work out next to us will be done soon. The trucks in the alley have driven half way through my veggie garden, I need to get my garden in soon...

@fishtiger58 Even if it takes the double, they will be done by the end of April, you are in time to plant plenty of veggies.

@LadyDuck They claim they will be done in two weeks but it's 15 days now and they are out there this morning making all kinds of noise. It's starting to bug me. It's not really that loud or at least not as loud and I anticipated it would be, but it's constant. From 7 am until 5 pm. We should be able to plant our veggies this year. I hope.

@LadyDuck I pick my own vegetables but only from the grocery stores and supermarket shelves, sometimes in tins

@arthurchappell Most of the time I pick them up in stores too, even frozen.

I like gardening but the plants do not seem to cooperate with me. I have better luck with words. All I need is a seed of an idea. It is allowed to germinate in the fertile part of the brain. The bud then blossom into maturity producing the desired yield. I don't mind getting my hands dirty but sadly I don't have a "green thumb"

When I started the vegetable garden, all the members of my family laughed at me asking if I planned to work in high heels (
). I proved that I do not care getting my hands dirty. I love to work in my garden and I love to pick up my fresh vegetables.

I would love to have a beautiful garden like that. I need raised beds though, my yard is underwater and I have a black thumb. I think of gardening and mowing as puttering round the great outdoors. Both are relaxing.
