Rainy Day Garden

Hello from rainy Oklahoma. We are getting a wonderful slow rain today.  It is a good day to snap a few pictures of the yard while the sun is behind the clouds.  I didn't stage any of these pictures so you will see cushion less yard chairs and hoses and a few weeds.  What can I say....it's raining! 

The Front Yard


The Back Yard and Patio Area
This is where I grow my herbs, basil, dill and thyme.  We hope to open the pool around May 15th. 
The trailer is loaded with compost/top soil, ready to be spread when the rain stops. 

The pond is still covered.  I try to keep as many leaves out as possible.  You can see how they stack up around it and I have raked them out once...ugh.

The Potager
I have my vegetables and roses planted in the raised beds.  Flowers area planted in the border around the fence.  It's about time for me to trim the boxwood hedges. 

I took this picture last week.  It is a view through the raised beds of the newly planted tomatoes, peppers and zucchini.  The black tubing is the drip irrigation system that I have weaving all through the beds.  It will be covered with mulch as soon as the rains stop.  

Thanks for visiting.  Until next time,

Your garden is so lovely!! Wish I have more time to put on the garden too. I still have my tomato plants inside in the window, it´s to cold here to plant them out yet.
