Future yummy plants...

Yikes! That was a busy gardening afternoon. Trimmed back the flowering thyme that was trying to cover the entire herb bed, thinned out carrot seedlings. Moved a small salamander that had taken refuge in a bag of compost. :) My daughter gleefully rescued a pregnant earthworm with some others that already laid eggs in a pot that had sat out for a while, and put them all in the new garden containers.

We've put a lot of seedlings in container gardens (pics tomorrow, if I can)...cauliflower with oregano and borage, tomatoes with peppers and basil. At least one of the tomatoes is a mystery one - it volunteered, so we'll have to wait and see what it is. More planning going on for raised beds as soon as I can hire someone to deal with the weeds. I'd do it, but I have this thing about avoiding pollen and weed allergies and much prefer breathing properly. And someone in the neighborhood was selling really cheap wood today at the end of some project or other, so we got a bunch for the raised beds.

I think that gardening definitely helps with stress. As does not getting up at oh-dark-hundred, as my husband says.
