Last week (June 17-21) I had the joy of planting a garden. I did this for my daughter in law and son, living in Tacoma WA. First of all, great soil there. I added some gardening soil but maybe did not need to. I did not want to overwhelm them so the two little gardens and pots are small but I think they perk up their house.
I had so many plans and was getting so obsessed that it was good I left after 4 days.!
I am kind of eager to get back and do more work. My daughter in law thought that maybe I should work at a garden store. I guess I like giving people advice. ha ha. The hardest part was pulling up the weeds. Lots of roots and dandelions. I worked some on their lawn but that is going to take more work. I hope I can continue coaching them with their new house although I don't want to be a bother either.
A report from the Denver garden: still lots of lettuce, basil plant died. Dear husband did "dead heading" of petunias. Now that is love, a real act of service.

PS My daughter in law here has an amazing Cali lily, a succulent pot and a basil plant that I am quite jealous of. I hope to make pesto and take some home with me
