Spring Plans/activity

Yesterday i talked to Ilse and Nathalie via skype, friggin' Awesome !, had an open connection and caught the familylife as it plays out there with friends, great stuff!, Ik hou van mijn meiden, "love my girls"!Liefs Ilse en Nathalie van Pap en Nathan Greg,Catherine en Kim, gauw nog een keer doen! Heerlijk gewoon.
    Today  after schoolpickup I bought a peatcontainer of german thyme, very fragrant and divided in 5 individuals , yea me,  bang for my buck ! Thyme is so fragrant , hmmmm!   My carrots are  now one inch visible and so is the coriander ( all from 0.20 cent seed).The "Giant Super Tomato" had to be replanted from inside to outside .....wow , tomato's really grow fast !!, I suddenly have  about twenty "Giant Super Tomato" plants ,time to think about a support. (I allready have one salvaged  from "roadside treasure" , but I'm thinking I need more still and soon ) This summer we will have quite  the garden  to enjoy , very promising indeedy!. I  also have a better take on the whole thing now than I did last year and started out early.
     With so many fragrant herbs  and colourfull flowers we should probably   attract a couple of butterflies .I've allready seen them here early april in beautifull yellow and black .
Maybe after doing research I can spot some of the butterflyeggs under plants in the park here . and  have a see thru container as a butterflyhatchery..."as seen on TV"     
Big bumblebees  frequent our backyard too ( the ones that make mommy scream 'bloody  murder' or at least  make her squirm  and freeze..hehe) < i'm just leary of the big wasps every so once in a while.. me no likey much
    I had a  bugman come by and make me an estimate on my organic pestcontrol , nice quote , no termite bond though (bugman smiled)??he says organic involves filling the house with rosemary and mint smells to dull all  bugactivity, I just hope the IGR's work quickly! we all  could get used to rosemary and mint smells , right?, hey bugman  I have another question..

The rain  in the past couple of days made the grass wonderfully green   due to very gentle spring showers and  the garden is bloomin' wonderfull!, will share another foto as soon as this overcast sky dissappears ,  for now it's still rumbling now and getting darker still ( it  looks like 7 pm- directly after sundown -but  it is actually 10:40  , ominous , wohoo)

Is Anyone reading my Blog yet, hm ?Whatsamatter You,.......... eyh?
