I had a wonderful Earth day, spending most of it out in my garden. I transplanted some raspberries, planted some beans, watered my onions, and planted some green onions. E and I picked Dandelions while S and W went mountain biking. E even picked all the neighbours Dandelions (now wouldn't you like to live next to him?). I watched E make a "seven layer deluxe" mud cake and laughed when he told me, "this is no ordinary cake." Do you remember how much fun it was to make mud cakes?
E planted watermelon, zinnia and aster seeds to sprout inside. Did you know that the little plastic four pack plant containers make a very useful, practical way of learning the four times table?
I can't resist my ferns, they drive my husband nuts because I have so many of them. What can I say...I was a West Coast girl. Got to have my ferns! I just love the shape of them all through out their development.And these little ones? These are Japanese Maple tree babes coming up under our tree, all on their own. Just a wonderful reminder to me of how giving this earth is, and how much I love it.

Those ferns are so nice!! I like them a lot. Your garden is so beautiful Heather.
Your garden is looking lovely. Mine is fast getting out of hand. I have a self starter japanese maple too which I'm planning to move to a more favourable spot. It'll be neat to see how it grows because I think it was seeded by a weeping one; I wonder if the baby will weep as well....
Beautiful pictures of the sun on your ferns - love those shades of green.
I just had to post another comment to say that the one I deleted was an accidental second posting of my first comment - OK? Wish blogger would work a bit faster sometimes!
your ferns are amazing. somehow i always have thought that ferns and garter snakes and frogs are a sure sign that a garden is healthy. alas, i have very few ferns as yet... seeing yours unfurl makes me green with envy! in a good way...
