The Joy of a Garden

I have been thoroughly immersed in the garden out in East Hampton trying to plant all the vegetables my Dad purchased this year before he passed away. It seems so cruel that he would miss out on the beauty of his Spring/Summer/Fall garden that everyone stops and admires. Yesterday I planted red pontiac potatoes, snap peas, lincoln peas, maestro peas, bush beans, lettuce and oregano to join the couple of tomato plants already planted. The cucumbers, beets, basil, dill, honeydew and watermelon will have to wait until next week. We have been eating fresh asparagus almost every day and our rhubarb is well on its way. We have about 13 blueberry bushes, and added a seedless red grape bush this year which is leafing beautifully. There is something so therapeutic about working with the earth and sifting out all those weeds. It is especially therapeutic when the weeds are all gone. We, of course, use no chemicals on our plantings. Our blue, yellow and peach irises are open and beautiful and I am waiting for the peonies and oriental poppies to open any day. Well back to Eco Art Handbags!!
