Quick note tonight. We are getting ready to head south for my nephew's wedding on Sunday in Edwardsville, IL. Should be a good time to see family and friends. We got a nice shower about 5 pm that will go a long way to avoid having to put any water down until we get home on Monday. The asparagus keeps coming as we were able to pick another 3 #'s to take an grill on Saturday.
The garden looks great. Pulled a few weeds in the garlic and asparagus. The second batch of compost in the tumbler should be finished by the time we are back. Looks like we will also be able to get in the last planting of peas on Tuesday. Also will take the opportunity to get in the first planting of beans next week.
Mary picked up some flowers today at a new greenhouse. She took a trip with friends out to see Thistledown Greenhouse in Bonduel. Sounds like we will be going back. Planted some Eryngium 'Blue Hobbit' (Sea Holly) and Euphorbia 'First Blush' (Cushion Spurge). Should do nice out front in the front flower beds.
Gotta run. Things to do and pack before we leave for tomorrow. We'll talk next week.
Over the holiday take a moment to be thankful for the country we live in. It may not be perfect but it is still the best thing going. Be thankful for the sacrifice that all those have given to make it what it is today. Have a safe Memorial Day.
Bill
