My weekend was pretty much all about dirt. On Saturday, I played in it. Planted flowers in my flower boxes and planted my deck herb garden. So happy that it’s warm outside and time once again to play in the dirt. I have a rule: no garden gloves allowed. What fun would planting be without getting messy and feeling that good, rich soil in your hands? That’s what I want to know. Am I alone in this one?
Jay had his share of fun with dirt this weekend, too. He covered a bunch of it with mulch. Our yard looks so much nicer thanks to his hard work. I was happy to plant the flowers and avoid the mulch … because once upon a time I came face to face with (you guessed it) a spider! while mulching. The hugest spider I had ever seen up to that point in time. So much for Jay’s mulch helper.

Just subscribed to your newsletter. I love organizing and getting new ideas. Was wondering if you had tips on where can I learn about or do you have a post for your “herb garden” for your deck? Thanks for the “Happy May 1st” I’m with you cant believe it’s here.

Yep Aby, I love not using gloves when I’m working in the garden. However my hands don’t, I break out!!! It is very sad.
I have been patiently waiting for the weather to cooperate so that the flowers that I just couldn’t help but buy could go in the ground, and wouldn’t you know I get a cold. Hopefully they will be patient a little longer! I love spring!
