You make me weep. *sigh*

My husband is enjoying the beds he worked so hard to develop last year. Garlic and onions going great, some herbs, carrots, and teeny beets are up. Waiting on the rest.

My side is straight weed garden. I have had some sad things to deal with, so my motivation is crap right now. But I did put in three miniature and wretchedly scraggly tomato plants that my husband started. He told me yesterday that tomatoes were MY responsibility this year. On June 5th. :) But with our clime it’s only a week late really. Off to the nursery tomorrow to see if they have any respectable plants. They have been really good these past few years with anticipating folks like me.

My raspberry bush looks grand - it’s third full year and I think I will have good results.

I’m 82 and my preference would be weeds at this time but Lady Bender browbeats me although she does let me take a nap every 20 or 30 minutes. For the second year my garlic is infested with rust again which stunts bulb formation and does a mental number on me.
