Beautiful Monday

Today was a perfect spring day; in the 70's , sunny, and crisp. After work, I picked up some slug repellant, a few annuals for my last clay pot, and a new basil plant. Once I changed into my gardening gear, I spent a while planting, watering, and repelling slugs. Bill and I fertilized the garden, pulled some weeds, and then put up almost (!) the rest of the pickets. We ate a big bunch of sauteed spinach for dinner; we have to cook it since it's been munched on by slugs, as you can see here:
We planted bulbs, annuals, and some dahlias along the garden fence:
The lawn is looking green and lush, and Bill is excited to walk on it:
Beginning of June:
I've never grown potatoes before, but ours sure do look like they know what they are doing (see them on the right?)!
