May 2022

After 4 hours planting and trips to garden center (we have a great small family run nursery a mile away). Whew. I am tired. Did the same for 3 hours yesterday. Not the same when you are 65 instead of 25 or even 45. Starting Monday my seasonal helper will come for a few hours a week. He is in 11th grade and his family moved here in 2010 fleeing Russia. His name is Vlad.

I planted 4 sunflowers in the front yard garden to honor Ukraine.
