Happy Birthday to my Mom

77 is a magic number, she woke up and saw dolphins in the Atlantic

I'm so grateful for my mom

Daisy Chain is gaining wonderful links, and most of the annuals are transplanted to the field.

Here is a picture of 25 bouquets I made Wed. night for the Lincoln School gang.

Tumwater Market starts next week, Wed. May 28th. I'll be there with whatever is blooming.

I also have extra veggie starts for sale, if you have garden space. I made some patio "salad bowl" planters (different lettuces, kale, chard, cilantro or dill, arugula) to sell. We'll see.

I've been busy at the Kiwanis garden. Transplanting cabbage, weeding beets, sowing pole beans, etc... The guys are constructing a new hoophouse. We are looking for donations of tomato and pepper starts to grow for the food bank. I'm always happy to have volunteers to join our efforts to grow fresh produce for those who can't afford "the daily five".

Enough for now, SL

To all new Daisy Chain members

Welcome! And thanks for becoming a link in our 2008 floral adventure.

I've gotten behind in the blogging, a good sign that my work is outside, with long physical hours and everything is growing after all. It's still in the low 30'sF at night. We're guessing when the veggies and flowers will nourish us, but all is growing steadily hardy, er hardly, I'd say.

I've been receiving registration forms daily, a gentle boost via post. So I post here to open this community trust. Here's some photos: Feel free to write in.
