From My Home to Yours
~ Gardening! ~
No sewing this week but not because the 'want-to' wasn't there. The need to get the garden planted is a top priority right now. I'll get back to sewing after the garden is planted.
Until the next time ...

What a gorgeous rose. Your time is well spent with grocery prices rising just about daily. My husband was in Sam's Club today and commented to an employee about the condition of all the produce. He said all of it is arriving in poor condition these days. So it is expensive and if we don't eat it very quickly it is no good.
ReplyDeleteLana, we have also noticed a difference in the quality of produce available in the stores.
DeleteHi Patsi,
ReplyDeleteI just found out that volume 22 "Lifted by the Wings of Destiny" of the Bregdan Chronicles has finally been released. I order it today from our library. I"m also reading "Somerset " by Leila Meacham. It begins in South Carolina and moves to Texas in 1836. It's very good. Cookie
Cookie, it's so good to see you starting to comment again. You continue to be in our prayers.
DeleteThat is wonderful news about another book in the Bregdan series. I hope there are many more!!!
I've added Somerset to my reading list, thank you for the suggestion.
I love your raised beds and arches. It looks such a practical system, but attractive too. I can't wait to see them filled with produce in the summer months.
ReplyDeleteI have been pottering in the garden this week and one of my jobs was tying climbing roses into my ornamental arch. I am hoping for lots of roses this summer.
Inside I have been working my way around the living room spraying the edges of the carpet and the baseboards with insecticide as I have carpet beetles. I tried another more natural treatment a few weeks ago, but it didn't seem to work. It is my own fault. I spotted a cluster of small beetles on the wall by my fireplace during lockdown. I thought that they were baby ladybirds and decided to let them over-winter there. If only I knew then what I knew now!
Tracy, beetles are a beast to get rid of when they get 'established' aren't they!
DeleteI hope your roses do well on your arch. I am watching and waiting for the 'arms' on my rose bushes to get long enough to tie up and train as well.
If you enjoy historical fiction, two of my favorite authors are Loula Grace Erdman ("The Years of the Locust" and "The Edge of Time") and Agnes Sligh Turnbull ("The Nightengale" and "A Gown of Glory"). They wrote other books, but these are my favorites.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I will add those titles to my reading list.
DeleteI like your arches. They will be so nice this summer. We have North Carolina strawberries in our local grocery store here in Virginia. Our strawberries have not come in yet. We did have frost last night so I hope the strawberry beds with be okay. We don't have a strawberries planted, but have a pick your own farm nearby.
ReplyDeleteHopefully, the stores will soon have locally grown produce and it will be better. I am having a hard time finding garlic that is not sprouted. Hope everyone's gardens do well this year, a little rain sure would help. CindyD
Cindy, we desperately need rain in our area too.
