I was thrilled to see that our potatoes are up. I've never been this successful, this early in the garden season.
To see this after about three years, is promising.
We are still getting a few apparatus a day here too.
I finally got 240 onions planted, and a dozen brussel sprout plants in the ground. I hope to get more if I can find them.

The fog has brought us some beautiful sunrises as well.
The pollen count is high today, so I'm donning the biggest pair of sunglasses with a hat. Garden work must go on, regardless, because rain is coming, and seeds must go in.
I'm looking forward to a restfull evening on the front porch.
My fitbit logged 16,140 steps by bedtime last night. I hope the scale shows me weighing a bit lighter in the days to come.
On a last note, there was a request for the instructions/pattern to make a Christmas ornament I posted a few years ago. I'm writing it up, and hope to have it posted soon. I'm not tech-savvy to embed a pdf file on my blog post, so hopefully it turns out well.

Glad to see your garden is coming along so well.
My hubby is suffering (although not very silently!) with hayfever today also.

I have some meatballs in the freezer which I usually use in spaghetti sauce but your meatball sandwich has given me the idea for some of those. Thanks!
Do use a crusty bread for the meatball subs. Otherwise they get a bit soggy. Also, toast it in the oven first, then top it, and we put it under the broiler.
Congrats on the garden! Looking good! The fruit trees are so wonderful to have.
And I'm envious of all the vegetables popping up at your house. We haven't even started yet - First because we have to wait until the farmer behind us sprays his field to be sure he won't be killing all of our work with Roundup; and Secondly now, we have a tropical storm (Ana) roiling off our coast (she's coming directly our way now but no worries cause she's just a wee one), bringing us copious rain which will do us loads of good in our herb and vegetable planting once the storm passes.
On another note, through experimentation, I happily discovered some ants simply will NOT walk through chili powder. Now just what I'm going to do with that information, I don't know, but it kept them on the other side of the kitchen away from food prep areas until the Terro drops took hold and killed 'em all.
God bless.

as for my cucumbers (pickling) they are about 4" tall now... and my watermelon plants are getting their secondary set of leaves.. I am gardening a wee bit different this year.. I planted the melons between the cucs, so the cucs will grow up the wire supports and the melons will cover the ground... Should be interesting if this works! lol! Happy Mothers day to you and happy gardening.
