Mapped out garden beds, made a calendar timeline for starting seeds, soul blocked sweet pea and sugar snap seeds, and then Soji came over and destroyed the organization. Garden season has officially begun.

The season has begun. Lisianthus started. New seeds purchased. Harvested seeds will be reviewed since I forgot what I did two months ago!

I haven’t considered really making dried flower bouquets but had had a request to make some by my person. I put together two bouquets from the last of my flowers in bloom. They turned out pretty neat and I’m a bit proud of them!

Made some home made identification tags for the snappies! Sure would have been faster if I had thought to buy some plastic wrap around tags to ID them when they dry up. That seems to be the theme this year; discovering i needed something when it happens and dont have it.

I am so excited to harvest my snap dragon seeds. I paid $6.00 per packet for four different styles and likely got around 100 super, duper tiny seeds. I pulled a pod off of a halfway dying snappie and shook it out in my hand. It looked like in that one pod it held the same amount of seeds I bought for $6.00!

Vince and I harvested the Celosia last night - Crystal Beauty, Chief Persimmons and Shimmer. I made a bouquet to take to work. Of course Mabel and Rosie were out there too! It took a few hours to cut and shuck. We were lucky enough to visit with my daughter and her fiancé during the harvesting and the time passed so sweetly. Vase provided by Donna! Wrangling up a bunch of Celosia proved more difficult than I thought. That was just one tub we harvested in my arms.
