beautiful dreamers?

The sunshine and hoping for tomorrow's rain should do my plants well! Where am I in this gardening journey? Where are my seedlings? Will they ever show their greeny tops? Will I ever taste a bite from my own tomatoes or my eggplants? I am very impatient in this season of life!
Ezra's forgotten about it!

Rain, in a time of rain?

Rain, rain, where are you? They keep telling us you are coming and my garden is in need.
Someone tipped over my seedlings and I don't know if they will survive this dryness I must install a child proof, dogproof seedling holder and irrigation system to remind myself to take part in this chore. I am a woman under authority and I tell people ( my children) to go and come and they go and come and I must be more in authority over myself in this else my eighty days will be in vain!

Day three I have the time to document my plants

This week I planted pumpkins 3 (very supposedly prizewinning seeds)
Eggplant, Okra, Tomatoes, carrots and cucumbers, as well as 3 daffodills.
These are the firstfruit. Next week I will begin on the next phase and ultimately, I hope to progress to olives. In the meantime, my Ezra and I are watching the growth while we organize this house. Today is laundry day!

monotonous anticipation

planning and thinking is a part of growing. Here on day two watering and waiting is what I will tell my Ezra, should he ask me "where are the plants?"

A seed in the ground?

Today I begin the wonderful world of gardening. I am using this to hold myself accountablein growning of these seeds into fruition. It is a beautiful, sunny day and Ezra, my three year old and I are working together to see these plants grow and to enjoy the adventure.
In my 2 and a half dozen crate of eggs I planted okra and tomatoes and eggplant. The packages said 75 to 80 days until harvesting. (Thus the blog title) I am as anxious as Ezra to see them grow. Lets see what happens!
