This weekend was about trying to get my winter garden started.  I let my garden go during the heat of the summer.  Last year, it meant there was not much to dig out.  This year, we had rain.  I am fighting weeds.  But one spade full of dirt at a time and the work gets done.  I know you cannot see this from the picture but it is a mud bath.

One of the things that I knew I needed to plant this time was flowers.  I had not planted enough in the spring garden and I missed them.  I had my Beloved pick up some mums while I was at work today.  Yes, I know they will not last but I will enjoy the blooms.  I also planted one bed with flower seeds.  That is how much I missed my flowers.

I still have many beds to dig up.  Hopefully, the rains will stay away long enough for me to get some actual work done.  Maybe by this weekend I will have all the vegetable seeds in.  I hope!
