AFTER WE GOT HOME FROM A LONG DAY OF BEING GONE FROM THE COTTAGE, I repotted two large geraniums I had WINTERED in the house. I have a large galvanized container that sits on a metal frame with wheels on it. I cleaned it and poured some soil into the bottom of it and then placed the geraniums on top of the soil filling in the areas needing more soil. Twas messy, but I got 'er done.
I had WINTERED four geraniums and now all are sitting on the front porch. Mission accomplished. I watered the transplants super well. Looks good if I do say so myself. It felt good to physically garden these plants. Mark this off of my TO DO LIST.
Swept the old porch and came inside to cool off. I was sweating and needed to sit down.
We had an active day. I didn't sleep well last night. Up until 5 or so. Tried to get some shut eye in before the sun rose. I could hear the birds chirping early in the morning. Was beautiful.
FINISHED the two wreaths I had been slowly working on. Satisfied they are done and ready for 2026 EASTER 10 months EARLY! Now that's progress. grins. I failed to get them assembled for EASTER this year and there they sat on the work table waiting for attention.
I gathered the faux fruit I've been collecting for over a year and decided I need to get a storage box to hold the produce until I make a large wreath. Think I will enjoy making wreaths for artistic expression.
Got around to go get Vitamin B12 shots. Went to the post office to mail a bill and then took off for Manhattan.
We arrived so early for our appointment. It was impressive that we were early. It doesn't take long to get an injection. Lunch would be at McAlister's Deli. Both of us got large salads. Delicious. I walked from McAlisters to DILLIONS for tea. Hubby drove the car over and parked it, but I knew I needed to stretch my legs and walk the distance.
We stopped off at LOVES GARDEN on the way to WALMART for some plants. LOVES had herbs and veggie plants on sale for BUY ONE GET ONE FREE and some were 50% off. I was after Cilantro. Bingo they had some. Pumpkin plants were picked up and some pepper plants. It's been over 45 years since planting pumpkins. Excited that we may have some next AUTUMN for HARVEST and HALLOWEEN.
WALMART was fun to see about cherry tomatoes. Our container plant at HOME broke off so we wanted another one. Purchased an orange bell pepper plant, purple tomatoes, cherry tomatoes. Then off to MENARDS for a storage box, some wood for pantry shelves and a few other things like Bush's Beans for 75 cents a can. Marked way down. I noticed that they had similar containers that I have some herbs in at HOME. I may need to get a few more to put more herbs in for our container garden.
The drive HOME was very pleasant as the road we took is less traveled. Luscious greenery and winding country roads. On our way HOME, we stopped off at the storage unit to place some sticky traps out and generally look at our inventory. Refreshing my mind what's out there. A slow drive HOME and time to relax for the evening.
Unloaded our plants, etc. then I got started on repotting the geraniums. Tomorrow we will pot the herbs and veggies for the CONTAINER GARDEN.
This Wednesday, was wonderful. We ate well today with salads, potatoes and green beans with almond slices. A handful of cashews. Had MOON MILK or turmeric milk this morning for Breakfast. Refreshing water to sip on. Some green tea in the day. Got a lot of shopping done and had pleasant conversation.
THURSDAY is winking at me. Can't believe it. It's been a week since we went to Wichita for STATE Meet. Time flies. I've got to download my pics to share on here. Plans for Wednesday are to get the EASTER wreaths placed in wreath boxes and placed in the cellar. I have the wreaths I used to decorate my Dad and Brother's graves in the car. I need to hang these on our front doors. Plant the herbs and veggies. Do a load of laundry. 👕👖👗👚
