May-king Progress

Some months slowly unfurl. Other months seems to speed by. May is one of the latter. There is so much to do in the garden: weeding, repotting, transplanting seedlings into the raised beds, weeding, adding compost, weeding. Did I mention weeding?
The garden is making progress in the merry, merry month of May! I’m very excited about it. I’m also very busy, hence the nearly three-week delay in a new post. So, today I’m letting the photos do the talking.
Here’s what’s been growing, blooming, and quietly May‑king progress around the Wild Light Garden.

My garden reflects my own personality: a little wild and whimsical.
Seedlings growing in repurposed yogurt containers labeled Bonnie Tomato and Hungarian Heart Tomato on a wooden surface.
Yogurt containers were repurposed as plant pots. Before repotting I drilled holes in the bottoms for water drainage. It’s also important to label the type of tomato you’ve repotted in order to not lose track. The Hungarian Heart tomato is considered a medium to large tomato. It will need a bit more room between plants.

The tomato seedlings are ready to repot where they can grow a bit stronger and bigger in order to be planted into the raised beds come beginning of June.

My cat found a bunny nest. Don’t worry. No bunnies were harmed. My cat is not a hunter. If the bunny had hopped towards her, she probably would have ran!

Strawberries are one of my favorite fruits which is why I planted them. This is their third year growing now. I’m happy to see that flowers have bloomed and that fruits are forming.

Keeping the garden safe…from a distance…without doing much.

The bell pepper and basil seedlings have been transplanted into the raised garden bed. Two years ago I installed a sprinkler system. It makes the job (mostly) easier.
A greenhouse in the background. A stack of bricks in the foreground. In between is the herb garden with sage, oregano, and thyme.
When I sit on my side steps and look to my left, this is the site I see. I’ll eventually do something with those stack of bricks. I’m thinking pizza oven? What do you think?

Gardeners do it in the dirt

It’s been awhile! Boy, can a person get busy doing absolutely nothing!

The gardening blog is back with photos!!! So, just to get something posted, here is a photo post.

It’s like a picture book. No reading required. Just a lot of pretty plants.

More posts with actual information to come. Soon. Hopefully.
