Garden Work

The end of school nears. The sunny weekend bears the promise of summer around the corner. I find myself in the yard pulling weeds, day dreaming, planning summer trips and preparing for the preschool's school's end carnival. This year, I finally got it together to plant some seed starts and replant many succulents to sell at the garden booth of the preschool fundraiser. Each family is required to donate a plant, but I've always wanted to bring a few more. There's no added cost, it's just a matter of planning and a push from good intentions to action.

A few weeks ago, I posted a query for terra cotta pots on freecycle. A fellow poster cleaned out her reserves and left them in neat stacks on her front porch. I picked them up & put them to use with clippings from my garden. I hope these pups will find a good new home. Perhaps you? Carnival is May 5, 2012, 10AM-4PM at Sierra Vista Park in Sierra Madre.
