Then of course tomorrow it&#8217;s supposed to be another beautiful day, so I&#8217;ll be out doing more digging, weeding and planting. It&#8217;s always hard telling what the weather is going to do, so I want to get as much of the gardens here finished. I have a long way to go.<\/p>\n<p>Since I spend time with my mom who is getting older and not as spry as she used to be, I help her around the house and take care of the heavy work in the yards. There is a corner of the back yard that I&#8217;m turning into a place she can sit in the shade and also be surrounded by plants and flowers. I&#8217;ll post photos of before and after when I&#8217;m finished.<\/p>\n<p>So far I have planted cherry tomatoes, scarlet runner beans, zinnias, hyacinth beans, and various herbs in the front yard. The back yard, which is bricked except the corner where there is a small patch of grass and along the privacy fence which I dug up to use for herbs and flowers is started but I have a long way to go yet. Her gardens here are my creation and also my show piece, I&#8217;m conceited enough to say! \ud83d\ude09\u00a0 Since I have gardens at my home up north I&#8217;ve also been revamping them and changing the look of them just by rearranging the flowering herbs I grow and also adding more varieties. I&#8217;ll no doubt be working on this all summer, which is fine by me since gardening is the love of my life! I just have to remember to use a lot more sunscreen!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After spending yesterday getting my garden soil ready for planting and then this morning planting seeds, moving various plants to another section of the garden, and also removing weeds, I am quite sunburned and the day isn&#8217;t over yet.
