Gardening Progress and Ubering…

Tulips I thought had been pulled at the end of the season last year…a beautiful oops

A grouping of tulips I pulled at the end of last season and just threw in this planter with no idea what colors they would be. So beautiful

The borage that reseeded itself is blooming already!! YAY

Columbine flowers are almost here!! I can’t remember what these ones are supposed to look like since I planted them last year and they never bloomed. Should be fun!

I transplanted some of my sunflowers over by the stump to see how they will do in that soil. On the far right is the kiddie pool with my veggies in it (corn, broccoli, carrots, radishes).

My pumpkins are doing great!! I’d better get another kiddie pool and some soil so I can get these out of the mini greenhouse before they choke themselves out.

As you can see, my gardening is going quite well this year. I’m so excited to see everything this summer!! I threw a few Borage sprouts in with the veggies (bring on the pollinators!!), along with some Nasturtium (take that aphids and squash bugs!). I’ll want to put some Nasturtium in with the pumpkins, once I transplant them, as well. I placed a number of Blazing Star bulbs and Gladiolus bulbs in the stump area, also to see how they do. So far, the ones that have poked through the top of the soil seem to be doing quite well, which, of course, makes me happy.

I’ve been having a really hard time making myself go out and drive for Uber. I’m not really sure what that is all about, other than I know I would rather be gardening than driving. I’m covering my car payment, but not much else. I need to get back on it. The sun is supposed to be hiding all week, so that should help me, I hope.

I need to get some seat covers for the Prius. After thinking about it, I know that the seats are going to get a bit worn from all of the different butts that will be getting in and out of the seats and it would just be smart to cover them. I have never really liked the look of seat covers. They have always looked a bit…tacky? cheap?…to me. I found some on Amazon that are made for my Prius so should form to them and not look bad. The downside is they are almost $200…eek! I’m going to have to just buckle down and get myself super busy with Uber so I can swing getting them.

I’m having to hose down the car everyday before I head out to drive. The trees are pollinating the car something fierce, leaving it looking like it has been flocked a light green. Its frustrating but…well, rinsing off the car before heading out seems to work out just fine. The sun is hiding at this point, today, so I think I am going to wash the car before I head out to drive this afternoon. Jeff Dunham is at the Tacoma Dome today, starting at 3pm, which means I should head out around 1:30, 2:00.

Have a great day, Everyone!!
