Mom Keeping Me Company and My Veggie Garden

It's been cold here the last 3 days though I am sure cold for me is not the same as cold for you, but it was in the 50's, so I did not work outside at all. When I took out the garbage today and got that first sniff of fresh air, I realized that the nice weather is back. I got my mom from inside the house and sat her outside while I cleaned the mess on the deck, which was left by our terrential rain and storm 3 nights ago. Then I watered the plants.

Here is my mom with all smiles. I know I have said this before but doesn't she look good for a 92 year old woman? She will be 93 in 3 months.

She got cold after a while although it was only 71 degrees so I wrapped a blanket around her.

The iris continues to bloom.

Now, I have to show you my veggies that I planted more than a week ago, except for this strawberry that keeps coming back. See the little strawberries?

The parsley survived the winter but I planted new cilantros, chives and basil.

The rosemary thrives every year and keeps getting bigger. But do you know what is in front of it? I am not sure but it could be weed but it could also be stevia if my old one did not die. Can somebody tell me? Should I pull it out or leave it?

The grape vines are coming back.

I planted some tomatoes, hot pepper, eggplants, zucchini and lettuce.

I have thyme around the stepping stones too.

See those stepping stones? I laid them one by one last year or was it the other year? And boy, they were really heavy! And walking down balancing yourself carrying a heavy one was not easy but I like how it looks plus it makes me go down easier now.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my vegetable garden. I am linking with Sherry for Home Sweet Home at http://thecharmofhome.blogspot.com/
