Tuesday Dooze – On the Deck

My constant companion…he chased bugs while I transplanted some broccoli and cauliflower seedlings — thoughtful spring gifts from our neighbour.

The seedlings went into pots on the deck.  After several years of keeping a sizable kitchen garden, I’ve decided to throw in the towel.  I can’t fight the towering cedars that surround our backyard anymore –  roots that invade and consume.  Raised beds are the only solution (and they certainly aren’t going to happen this year).

I’ll add some tomatoes to my container garden (anyone have any seedlings they want to sell?), and I keep a number of potted herbs, but other than that, I’ll be at the mercy of the markets and what I can forage.

At least I know I’ll have someone to keep me company — even if he does get a little bored at times.
