We have two frogs
Posted by doggonedmysteries
My neighbor’s son brought me three frogs that he found at his job site today. Unfortunately one died tonight probably from the lengthy transport in a dirty bucket. The kid means well but has no idea that a clean bucket and water from where he got them would’ve been wiser. I feel sorry for the frog but after watching the other two munching down on mosquitoes tonight I am happy they are here in my pond. The good news is they aren’t bullfrogs.
You all have a good one!

Yay! I have started the vegetable garden.
Posted by doggonedmysteries
Yesterday G and I stopped at a favorite nursery and while I loaded up on some lovely vegetable plants, G found flowers to replace what the wet weather and bugs destroyed in her garden.
I now have six tomato plants, two pepper plants, a nice group of four basil plants, and four eggplants ready for the pots beside the house. Not bad for my first load. I also bought some Rudbeckia, lavender, and zinnias. In a week or so I’ll go to the larger nursery we usually go to and pick up more veggies for the back garden. I want a few more varieties of peppers, bush cucumbers, and some early eggplants.
I did plant some tomatoes and the basil in pots yesterday. Today I’ll finish the job and get the flowers planted in the pots on the front porch.
You all have a good one!

Let the grilling and gardening begin.
Posted by doggonedmysteries
The grill is clean! I am happily grilling our dinners again. Next would be to get the hammock stand set up. Yes, I am running very late this year. LOL!
What can I say, we had so much other stuff going on that I got way behind on getting things together here at home. It looks as though we are taking baby steps but getting there. Another thing to do is see if I can still find tomato, peppers, and eggplant for my pots. We’re a bit late on them too.
Dinner was grilled lemon & herb infused boneless chicken breasts served with veggies and a large salad with NY cheesecake for dessert. The Curmudgeon enjoyed it. Does anyone have any special grilling recipes they’d like to share?
You all have a good one!

Dang, I really need to find some energy somewhere and weed the gardens.
Sunday in the garden…

I can’t wait for this iris to bloom–it’s my black one.
Still waiting for the blue and yellow ones to open too.
