In the last couple of days, I've planted zucchini, cucumbers, sweet peas (those are flowers, not food), zinnias, moonflowers, and 4 o'clocks. All seeds. I'm not really banking on the moonflowers--they're such a crapshoot--but when you can get them to grow, they're awesome.

Funny how digging in the dirt kind of shifts your brain into summer mode.

I think this neighborhood was built on a former dump or something. Every time I dig in the gardens, I find all sorts of crap. Glass, metal, pieces of lightbulbs, bits of china, marbles. Plus we have to pick up glass out of the lawn all the time. Very weird.

Some day you'll probably discover that's an amazing archaeological site.

We've had our best success with moonflowers by planting them early in little peat pots indoors and transferring them outside once they start to grow.

My dad used to do that. Every year I think I'll be that organized, and every year I'm...not. But occasionally I get moonflowers anyhow.
