...but I had some cool toys to share!
The Kiddo and me, at the Bird Farm, 2004-ish.

Friday's Friday Garden (I know!!)
Got back from Gettysburg on a beautiful Spring day, with my phone in my pocket, so, pictures!!
First, the top of the stairs establishing shot. All of the rain and sun have engreenified things tremendously.
The nascent blackberries:
Yellow onions on the right, and 15 garlics in the upper left quadrant. I put some Thai Hot pepper seeds down the middle of the lower left, along with four red onions I salvaged, and the more garlic.
The Quince, garlic, Early Girl tomatoes and the peppers are well:
The Big Mommas (on the left) are living up to their name, almost obliterating the peppers. I'm not used to tomato plants this big.
Three buds on one of the Big Mommas:
And two small, green tomatoes on the other!
The kitchen bed is well, as are the Tiger Lilies and the Royal Candles. Photos I took, not so much. I've added some garlic and pepper to the kitchen bed, and I have another sprout in the sprouting set that I put together. I'll find out what it is (looks like maybe a pepper), and figure out where to put it!

Walking The Dogs
I have an appointment with a neurologist this coming Friday, to see if we can figure out what the next step in the drama that has been my partial paralysis. I have been pushing myself a bit every day, and lately I have been able to walk short distances.
Today, I took the dogs for a walk. I doubt we went a quarter mile, round-trip. Up the alley to Main, and down Main past the gym, the big antique store, the kid clothing consignment shop, the seamstress, to the insurance agency. We went down the walk there to the alley, and back to the house.
I started to run out of gas before we got home, so I slowed up, and let the dogs pull me a bit. Sat out on the patio for about a half hour, then came in for treats and Cokes.
Woo-hoo!

Saturday's Friday Garden
We got rained out on Friday, so we're late again. The rain was steady and gentle from Thursday evening through last night- just the sort us farmer love. (Heh.)
First, the kitchen bed. Something got at the sage, so there's only one plant that is robust - the others are in recovery. The robust one is between the tomato and the baby basil at the bottom, and you can make another one out to the right of the Poodle's ribbon.
Next, the blackberry, looking quite healthy with a number of blossoms:
The yellow onions are doing well. The reds, not so much. I finally got garlic in the upper-left quadrant. It's too early to tell, I think. Maybe Thai Hot peppers where the dead reds are...?
Tomatoes, peppers and melons. The Big Mamas int the back of the bed have some blossoms, as do a couple of the peppers and melons:
Side view:
The back corner bed, with tomatoes, garlic and hot peppers:
The Quince stick and fading roses. (I have no idea where the warp effect on the left came from!)
Tiger Lilies:
More Tiger Lilies and the Royal Candles:
More to come!

Sunday's Friday Garden
Things are growing!
Well, sort of... the yellow onions seem healthy, but the reds look DOA. Still gotta get some garlic in there.
Quince, tomatoes, peppers and garlic are looking good.
Blackberry is almost bush-like this year!
Tomatoes, peppers and melons all standing tall-ish.
Kitchen bed holding its own. The basil is blooming already, which means I need to do some trimming. Perhaps this evening...
Close-up on the Rosemary and Basil.
Production notes:
The colors are a tad washed. I used the phone's lighting correction, because of the overcast. I have other photos that are cyanotic, so I'm not using them.
I tweaked the layout a tad. This lets me display the landscape shots at a larger size! I'll go back and update the last garden post, now.
