Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Too funny. Honestly, the one neighbor in back of me whose backyard butts against mine has no idea how much I covet his backyard lawn space. I sure could do fantastic things with that space!

I was planting some annuals today, still have a flat of zinnias to do. But I planted a flat of marigolds, a flat of snapdragons, two six packs of Victoria Blue Salvia. I planted a potted Dahlia plant I bought yesterday. Can't grow dahlias from tubers for beans. I have tried so many times. All is ok if I cheat though and buy already potted and blooming plants! I also planted a six pack of Snow Peas and set up the stakes and ran string for them to climb up. Never grew Snow Peas before, I usually grow Sugar Snap Peas.

Now I just lugged ten bags of compost from out of the car (that I bought yesterday) and dropped them out in the lawn between the terraces garden and the tower square garden. Need to arrange the will be new tomato planting space, put bricks to outline (which I have) and drive stakes which will be every two plants. I have 8 tomatoes going there. I want to plant them tomorrow so I will just be happy if I actually make the gardenbed today.
