Garden Bloom Day May 15, 2010

This meme is hosted at May Dreams Gardens.
It is really for Garden Bloggers but I like to participate because gardening is something I love to do when I am not reading. Which isn't often anymore so most of what I show is work done by my DH!

Okay - it really is spring and the pool has been beautiful.  So in honor of this blog post I actually dove in this morning at 7:30 am to do my first 20 laps this year!!


The picture was taken at 8:30 am and shows sun. That wasn't there when I went in.  It was about 79 degrees so not too bad. The air temperature was still near 70. 


My DH installed the pool last year and built the deck the deck and railing all by himself.  He is soooo handy to have around!

At the far end of the pool this is DH's new hanging tomato garden.  A friend from church told him how to set up the pots and then he had to build something to hang them on.  There are a couple of peppers stuck in there too.  
This will be fun to watch grow!
Behind to the left you will see some of the logs he has cut from the tree that had to be felled in order to get some sun on the pool.  The logs will be firewood in winter.



I guess I should have gotten in closer for this shot. 
These are all cuttings DH made from our happy, healthy Kalanchoes.
They will be re-potted to the planters around the pool.


This beautiful pine will probably have to be cut 
to allow afternoon sun to the pool.
Notice the colorful chairs? DH bought those a week ago.
So I guess today's garden was more about the pool.  
Maybe there will be prettier blooms next month!

And of course the menagerie had to follw me while I took pictures.
I got all three in one shot but certainly not well possed!
