We had a fantastic trip to San Francisco and Yosemite. I think that Bill would have stayed in Yosemite Valley for the remainder of Spring if he could have. He took some amazing photos!
But now we are back, and we arrived home to a very overgrown lawn and a garden in need of some attention. After a full Saturday of planting, weeding, watering, and mulching, I think we have done a great job.
The peas are coming along very well. The two pepper plants that Mom gave us made it through the 90-degree weather last week and are looking strong:
We got everything planted in the garden today! Our starts of squash, melon, and tomatoes went in, and Chris even made a little garden plot for himself. This year, he will be growing carrots, potatoes, and cucumbers (all 3 of which we are having for dinner tonight!):
I got some herbs and marigolds for our small container garden on the deck. I also put squash and herbs mixed in with the iris. We'll see if they get enough sun:
Because we have such a plethorea of squash, pumpkin, and cucumber seedlings, we decided to put some behind the garden as well. We have heard that deer do not like to walk on wire mesh when it is flat on the ground, so we are giving that a shot:
Despite the unseasonably hot weather while we were gone, our shady stream area has really perked up, and our transplanted Hostas look great:
Tomorrow may be rainy, and I will gladly accept the break. But if it is a nice day, I have a pile of mulch calling my name....jem

Very nice, your yard and garden looks lush and beautiful!
Thank you, Woofslc. "Lush" is a good way to describe it! We have been getting so much rain this spring, Virgina is Green-green-green!!
