Busy times!

Back on March 30 & 31 (2015) I managed to plant the broccoli, onions, beets, kale and spinach.  My green kale did not come up very good and the red has outdone itself.  Also, the spinach did not do too well but will just have to do with what is here.  We had about a month of rains and so it has been hard to get into the garden to do anything.  However, I did work on redoing the rock border around the front of my house.  Bermuda grass has been taking over the border next to the flower beds and several other places.  That stuff is awful!   Now I'm trying to weed and put out the main garden things like tomatoes, peppers, okra and beans besides the squashes and melons.  The weeds have taken over! 
Guess I did say I'd been busy.  There were Master Gardener meetings and 3 gardens in town to help take care of. There was Easter and a birthday party for a 3 year old.  I went to a 2 day regional church women's gathering and then helped 2 days at the city wide garage sale and now I'm trying to get back into the mode of baking cookies for the Farmers Market on every Saturday.  Our local Master Gardeners had their annual plant sale last Saturday and next weekend is our Truman Days sidewalk sale and event in town.   Did I mention that I work too???? Guess I wouldn't have it any other way as I would just get bored.  :-)
