So much to do. My daughter is coming home for a visit from college. My son is leaving for the Air Force Academy. My stepson is enrolled in a college class to get him ready for senior AP Physics, and my youngest is off to camp. Work makes home seem calm! It's in the midst of all this that I'm thankful and appreciative to have my garden, spinning and knitting. I planted out a tray of dark orange marigolds, and a tray of purple opal basil today. I weeded and staked and got sweaty and dirty, and above all, relaxed. (That is until I discovered I'd sat on ants and was getting bitten to pieces. The bed is ready for the hopi red dye amaranth and the japanese indigo. I'd plant out today, but i need to get some floating row cover to protect the young seedlings while they acclimate. Cotton is adjusting well.
Here are a few pictures of the wild flower plot.
