A blue thing I haven't managed to kill in 15 years of trying.....

I've got a few cool purple things as well, but those bloom later.
 
The wife is having me plant the three sisters (corn, beans, & squash) tomorrow in our back garden. I double dug the row a few weeks back & we're just now going to plant in it. Looking forward to harvesting produce!
be sure to let us see this "triple goddess" planting later on, do you let the beans climb the corn?
 
This is Amy the african violet, and she has a tale to tell. A couple of teacher friends are leaving the region and are in camp for a little visit. They gave Amy to my wife. They got her from teacher friends. The husband got for his wife 33 years ago when she gave birth to their son. Been cloning her ever since. So now she graces our arctic cabin with her beauty and tale of love

Will do. Yes, plant the corn & circle it with beans for climbing and beneficial relationship of nitrogen-fixing bacteria on the nodules of beans. After harvest I plan on putting in a cover crop to build the soil up since this is our first season planting back there. We broke ground over a month ago, worked in some well composted manure, and now starting to plant. We'll be getting more manure compost soon to help with the nutrition & add more aggregates to the soil, it's a bit too much clay for my liking at the mo.
 
Evening stoners! Having me a mix of orange juice, pineapple juice and rum, to kick off the afternoon :dizzy:with a joint of purple bud from Delicious seeds and planting potatoes and flowers. Have family coming in a little past midnight for a visit and am officially on vacation as of today!:hump: Happy Memorial Day to you all and I will be in and out this week! Celebrate the finer points of life and make a deal with yourself, to enjoy the day tomorrow(working or not) and say a quiet "thank you" to all our fallen military and honor them for a brief moment. For anyone here that has served, Thank You for your service!:toke:
