Barrow loads of salad

Yesterday I planted up two old wheelbarrows with some 'salad mix'.  I used up the rest of my home-grown seedlings of red and green lettuce and added beetroot and raddish seeds.  If I keep them well watered and fed they should provide a delicious mix of cutting greens.

So they will look extra pretty I added a border of petunias.  The wheelbarrows are great, because I can move them around, into and out of sun depending on the day.

 

I also planted some petunias in this pot.  The sticks are to keep Mickey the cat from sleeping in the pot...or worse.  You know what cats like to do in fresh dirt.

As I write it is pouring rain outside.  It is a clear sign that the rain is heavy when it shows up in photos.  I won't have to water the pottager...or anything else today.  I am glad I already cut the grass!

I love this view down the drive even when it is raining.
