Flowers Planted

After breakfast with the sky looking like it might rain anytime, we decided to drive to a greenhouse near Greensburg. It was a little over thirty miles, but we had been there the last two years and they always have nice plants. Linda picked out some plants that she liked and I picked out some that I liked and we decided where we would plant them and how many we needed. I also picked up 8 tomato plants while we were there that were setting outside and ready to be planted. We ate lunch and then returned to the farm, I backed the HHR to the back of the upper barn and we unloaded the plants. In the bottom of the pots, we used some of the dirt from when we tilled the spot for the new strawberry patch. It was already mixed with manure and humus, then put the plants in and topped it off with potting soil. Linda planted some of the flowers in the old tub at the corner of the house and the whiskey barrels at the front of the barn. I mowed back in the 'holler' while Linda and Stacey were finishing the flower planting.
  
It rained a little while and then Linda and I took the tomato plants to the little patch I had worked up inside the fence near the mum patch. We planted the 8 plants and drove the Mule around the mum patch checking on the condition of the ground. I will need to make sure I have disked the mum patch at least twice more to remove any remaining weeds before the mums we ordered arrive around the end of May.
