The rain's have stopped long enough for us to get the garden out. Last week my husband as you can see tilled up the ground just before the rain moved back in on us. The face he is making is that he really, really, wanted to do this job. He is such a great guy. We did get some plants, planted before it down poured. The tomatoes, peppers and okra. Then Wednesday it stopped long enough for us to get the squash in, then back to rain. Now today we planted the carrotts and peas and I started broccolli from seed last week in some small pots and they all came up so and doing well so far. I well be able to plant them in the garden in a couple weeks.

So yeah!!! we finally got our garden in. It was a very nice day today. We had some clouds that came in and for awhile we thought it was just going to down pour but the winds came in and blew the clouds out. Yes it was a very nice day.I dead headed some of the flower's so it will promote more growth. And I found out the ants love the humingbird feeder. So towmorrow I will be cleaning it out and putting in new food for the humingbirds. Darrell has said there is something you can put where the hook is that ants don't like. I will have to investigate the matter. I haven't seen any humingbirds around lately, the last time I saw one was around the first of May. But maybe some are still hanging around here.

Well I hope everyone has a lovely day on Sunday. Enjoy the day. And God Bless you.

Oh, Man!  Your garden is going to be so plentiful!  Mine are all in containers, I can't wait to have a big plot to till up!  What a good guy your hubby is!  Ants won't cross a chalk line, so maybe you can take some regular "school-type" chalk and draw a ring around the tops of the H-feeders... I don't know, it's worth a try, and it won't hurt the birdies.  I want to get a feeder for the front bed.  I always get hummingbirds with all the flowers I have up there, but I want to try a feeder.  I think the kids will like it.

Have a great Sunday!

Thanks I will try the chalk and report bac to you. When you buy a feeder make sure that it has a resting post.
They seem to like landing on it. I bought a cheap one.
Pots are just as good. I have 2 blueberry bushes in pots. I will have to plant them in the grown but for now they are in big pots. And it looks like I might get blueberries this year.

Keep on digging

Blueberries?!?!  Awesome!  What kind of weather do they like?  I think it might get too hot here... but that would be fun!  I got a cheapie feeder this morning, and already have some wasps!  We'll see how it progresses...=)

Well we drew a chalk ring at the top of the feeder and so far we see no ants.
Great you got a feeder. We have wasp and they are chaseing the humingbirds.
We bought a blueberrie bushes from lowe's last year. They like the sun and hot.
I live in Southern Indiana, so the weather gets up to high ninity's and winters get down to zero. So they like it up North to. They just come in early in the south. Now for a couple of years they will get blueberries but they will be small. As the bushes get taller as tall as 6 ft. the blueberries get bigger.
Have fun.
