What a busy day yesterday

Finished planting the new rose arbor...(pictures later) We rescued some sad looking roses from KMart - one is a beautiful yellow and orange - Joseph's Coat - and is blooming already, though of course it is small yet. I then mulched everything in the yard that needed it - all the flowers and the tomatoes Doyle planted (13 plants)  Don't know if they will produce the way the ones last year did in the square foot garden but it they do I will have tomatoes for sauce for a year or two to come.  I made up some olive oil with cinnamon oil  to combat the mosquitoes.  It seemed to help, they were threatening to pick Doyle up and carry him off and I only had to swat at a few from time to time as it wore off.  I got to pick dinner between rain storms yesterday too - a really big salad from the garden - lettuces, sorrel, mints, sugar snap peas and then Kale and chard for later in the week.  Also had some brown rice - just plain with some earth balance and raisins and pumpkin seeds.  yummy.
