The Deal With Teal

The Deal with Teal

and 

Playing in the Greenhouse

Oh my what a beautiful day it was today

I could not do anything but spend it outside.

Spinach, lettuce, sage, basil, green peppers, 

pumpkins, cucumbers, watermelon,

parsley and nasturtiums were planted.

Beds dug in preparation for 25 asparagus crowns

and 

Teal spray paint.

You must know that Teal has become a favorite color around here.

To most that may be no big deal, but it is here

because I am not a blue lover, except for my blue jeans that is.

So when I found Teal and realized I love it, well

you can imagine.  

Now I have Teal glasses for my summer drinks (well really any drink)

 Teal crystals on my candelabra

a Teal shower curtain and now Teal hanging planters

I also got these sweet spring colors when I bought the Teal

these are slated for a different project, but I will

just have to get another can of Teal paint, because

painting the planters was to happen today.

The planters before..........Teal.....just a bit ordinary.

Now doesn't that look better.......

Hanging to dry......I still have 3 more to do, but need more paint

going to town tomorrow........

So cute, now I can't wait to get flowers in them

I also played in the greenhouse today and 

thought I'd share some of the pretties growing in there.

Hens and Chicks

awaiting moving to the garden.

More hens and chicks

hey there is another basket/planter....where is my spray can?

Got up to nearly 90 today in the greenhouse.

The tomato plants......just a few more weeks and they will go 

outside into the wine barrels in their wall-O-waters until such time

as the night temps stabilize.

Geraniums, petunias (these are hold overs from last year, I kept them inside

all winter and they are blooming again, I have calendula blooming for a second year as well). 

I have forgotten the name of this little one.

Next up, Catnip.

you can really see the square stem here, which means

catnip is a member of the mint family.

Well, now you know the deal with Teal.

I hope you have enjoyed the wee tour of the greenhouse.

I am glad spring is here.....

though I feel badly for all the folks who have been impacked

by the terrible tornadoes down south and on the east coast.

It has been a really rough 3 days on them.

Prayers for the families of those who died and

for those who lost property.

May God Bless you and keep you.
