We’ve had some rain the last few days, mainly showers and overnight so the plants are happy, as is the rain barrel. Since I’ve gotten it it hasn’t been more than 3/4 empty.

The flowers on the chives are coming out. The purple looks ss pretty against the green. The peonies has blooms already. And that means that the ants are all over them. I hope they bloom soon. The Morning Glories that I planted last week have been looking pretty happy. That is for two. One has died and the other one’s leaves are all shriveled up, and I think it’s just a matter of time for him. I have more Morning Glory seeds though so I’ll replace those two.

I planted a few radish seedlings a couple days ago. They don’t look so great though. I think I’ll plant a row or twp of radishes and carrots. The radishes will be ready before the carrots will so once the radishes are harvested the carrots will have more room.

I also planted two hanging baskets with petunias. I forget the variety, but they’re supposed to trail over the side of the basket and look really pretty.

On the last trip to the garden centre I got cushions for the two loungers in the backyard. They’re SO much more comfortable with the cushions than without. I know I’ll be spending more time sitting in them this year.
