"Oh there's greenbeans in the garden, clean clothes on the line..."

Have no clue where this is from--I just saw it on pinterest and thought it was pretty. :)

We're a tad late planting our garden, but that doesn't matter too much. :) Over the past few days I've rescued my oregano, thyme, and fennel, we've transplanted scads of baby flower and herb seedlings, we've planted "mastershulums" (nasturtiums, according the Pooh) sugar snap peas, red onions, white onions, yellow onions, sweet onions (what's up with the onions? ;) and about 100 baby strawberry plants!

I am especially excited about the strawberries--they were a gift from the old fellow at the nursery where Dad often buys plants for the business. I can't wait to see how they do! :) I'm getting excited over the garden this year--since we aren't doing markets I'll actually have a chance to put up some of our own fruit/veggies! Last year I wasn't able to make a single pickle and the year before I made 120 quarts! The nerve! ;)

My herb bed is waiting with open arms for all the teensy babies we've been carefully cultivating on the propagating bed--I'm in love with the purple basil--it's so cute!

Have any of you used the egg-shell method for starting seedlings? It looks so adorable I want to try it at some point. :)

But the biggest bee in my bonnet at present is getting a hammock put up--I finally found a spot that would be good for one and I can't wait to see if we even have a hammock to put up. :D

I know I will have reached the final stage of lunacy if I ever attempt it, but I have a book from the 1800's that shows you how to knot your own hammock...I've always wanted to try that. :D I think it'd be difficult though, and probably expensive with all that string. But ever since laying in the ship's hammocks on the U.S.S. Constitution when I went to Boston, I've been in love with hammocks and consider them the single most comfortable...(chair?) in the world.

But what about you girls? Have you started a garden yet?
