More gardening

I did some more gardening yesterday while the sun was out for a bit. My mom came over after work with some goodies...more dirt, styrofoam for my potted plants, bamboo cage for my peas, a weed eater, and a beautiful purple dahlia plant. I got to work and first tamed the jungle I had growing in my back yard with the weed eater. We also got the dahlia planted, along with some petunias Mom had given me earlier, in a pot to put by the front door.

I love how it turned out! For some reason, it reminds me of my grandma...maybe it's the color. It will be a nice welcome when I drive up everyday.

I also did some weeding in the back and got my tomatoes and peas planted. Things are starting to come together and getting more chores crossed off the honey do list!

**UPDATE** I had planted my peas and tomatoes after my mom had left, and sent her a photo. Apparently I was doing it wrong, so I rearranged some things last night. Easier access to the hose, and peas on the outside of the cage, much better.

Side note - that "after" photo was taken at 8:45pm, I love longer days!
