Not doing my job

I started the foundation for the vegetable garden and planted it, but Alan has been the one to take care of and harvest most of it. I just really haven't been doing my part of the job. I am helping him today can some tomatoes, and his mom came up last week and helped do a batch then as well. If we are good about staying up with the canning then we will have tomatoes for forever. I told him today that we need to make our own spaghetti sauce and salsa. Next years garden needs to be more attuned to that idea.

On the left there you will see my real passion. Flowers!! You really don't have to do as much to them as you do vegetables, but they really aren't as beneficial either. Well, for me they are therapeutic and keep me sane, but they wouldn't feed me if I needed it. I think sometimes that sane is better than fed - HA!!

Anyway, that picture shows a little part of my front flower bed that has some Stella De Oro day lilies, morning glories and "Apricot" zinnias. It is a nice part of the whole thing.

This is part of my side yard where the trash cans used to sit. The spot was bald and ugly. I got most of these plants really cheap on the " 'bout ready to die" cart at Lowes. It is much nicer up close. The vine growing up the fence is a blue flowering morning glory. It is very pretty in the earlier parts of the day.

Yeah, I like my flowers. I have had lots of seeds from the day lilies and 4 O'Clocks. If any one has other day lily seeds they want to swap, just let me know, cause I would like to have some different day lilies.
