happy progress...

blessed Beltane and happy May Day to you, my lovelies!

i spent the day playing in the garden for the most part.  i finished getting the veg bed planted with veg.  i've still to put in the basil and marigolds around the tomatoes.  but i'm happy with my progress.  

and of course, there was the tying of the May Day wish ribbons on my trellis.  i made a wish for each ribbon of what i'd like to see come true over the next year.  and no, i don't share the wishes, but i will say, they weren't all just for me.

yesterday was an early ride to hospital in the next town.  my neurologist works there, and it was time for a check in with her.  the appointment went well and there is a new med i'm on now to see if it can help with my condition.  on my way home i stopped at the big farmers market for some plants and ended up with quite a lot.  i also found some delicious fresh strawberries and i'm always stocking up on seeds for emergencies.

tomorrow is another errand day and then hopefully some time in the garden.  i hope you are having a wonderful 1st day of may.

do you celebrate in some way?  i'd love to know how.

love & kisses & magical wishes,

in my garden... beltane edition

Happy and Blessed Beltane to you all! 

I hope you've been able to spend a little time with nature.  We are having summer like weather and I'm trying to enjoy it a little at a time.  Yesterday was breakfast on the patio and tomorrow I'm hoping/planning for a trip to the farmers market for fresh strawberries.  They've been coming in for a few weeks now but I've yet to taste one.  Soon!!

The rose bush above is one the previous owner had planted.  It's a knockout rose, which I'm not that fond of, but it certainly does bloom profusely.  It was more than double that size last month, but I cut it back and now it is covered in blooms.  The peonies, also planted by the previous owner, are ready to burst and the ants are swarming for their take of the sweet nectar.  I so love peonies, but really don't like the ants!

My blueberry bush (top photo) survived the winter and has more berries on it than ever.  I'm very excited for those to ripen up.  It's still potted as I can't quite figure out where to put it in the ground.

I'm taking it easy with the plantings this year.  Most of my household plants died off this winter and I'd like to start building them back up.  I have some ideas for making a little garden patch in my little patio garden, but I don't want to rush into anything and give myself too much a chance to fail.  So a few pots of herbs this summer, maybe a tomato and pepper in a pot and that will do me.  

Tell me, what's going on in your garden?

Thanks for stopping in to read...

love and blessings
