Praying for Rain....but I still have to weed.

    It has been hot and dry and the ground is hard, now that I have my cast off, I have two hands to carry the watering can....and two hands to weed, but I have yet to do that - maybe tomorrow.  According to the weather man, it is considering raining today, that would be a blessing....but my weeds will grow too.  Oh well, I will still need to weed, so bring on the rain.  Here are a few pictures of my porch pot and hanging baskets today.

Spring Pots



So I have been doing some gardening this spring.  Here are a few of my pots that I have on my porch, they are a little fuller now as it has been about a month since I planted them.
Dahlias, petunias, geranium, and some spiky thing. 

Basil, geranium, and roesemary


I also revamped my fairy gardened, added a house and replaced the dead pine with a olive tree.  


Also had some help from mom to get my vegetables planted, since I am having some difficulties with my right hand - not allowed to lift anything, little use of my thumb as noted in the last picture.  

Thanks Mom.
Setting up teepees, for my long beans and rattlesnake beans.
Managed to take a flying exit from my bike March 17 and it has slowed me down a bit.    I got this beautiful cast a little over 3 weeks ago, after finally going to see an orthopedic doctor.  Hit a pothole while bicycling, and it just kept giving me problems, no broken bones, but a partially torn ligament and some fluid around one of the bones.  Looking forward to its return to proper use.
