As if you wondered

If anyone wonders why this blog is called Goofy Gardening, show them these pictures.

Crazy chard

 Everyone said I put things out too early but in my opnion if I bought a plant...I needed to put it in the ground. Anyhoo... Tonight, they have a forcast for frost. So I ran out and covered everything in grass clippings and some of the material they but down in the "flower bed" out front. Fortunately, the lawnman came today so I had plenty to put out. 

Do you see the rose bush?

Please note that I did this after work and a trip to the tax agency.  So I was raking grass and placing it without much light at all. As you can see, I overdid it.

Thyme for a change :-)

I felt guilty because I planted to early. I didn't want anything to die because I was too stupid.  Now, they will die because I was too stupid to mulch the correct amount.

Hope you are having a great week and are a little saner than me.

Finally Finished

Well I have finished most of the deck. I just have to paint the back of the posts.  I am so excited and can't wait to have a cookout.

Love the swiss chard and basket in the corner

The rug is called Mad Mats and I bought it from our local Gracious Designs store. Mine is the Clover pattern that they had in the store.

Love the "grill" on the table. HA

I adore these deck planters that I purchased several years ago at our Evergreen JC store. You just need to make sure you buy the correct width for your deck rails. I made the mistake of not measuring and had to take several back.
Can't wait to show you some more pictures from the garden next time.

Inch by Inch

Well, I just wanted to show that not all the veggies are in the garden.
First up- seeds and seedling are begining to sprout.

Pepper, collards, mustard, carrots,etc

Leeks, kale, broccoli, lettuce, etc

Next, are the veggies in containers. Of course the ones, someone else planted are doing WAY better than mine.

Swiss chard - Yum

Onions

Finally, the herbs in the planters

Cilantro and mint

Parsley and oregano
