Gardening and astronomy were the themes today. I seeded lupine, hollyhocks, chamomile, moderna fistula (bergamot), Asclepias (butterfly weed), calendula, acorn squash, hasta la pasta squash, elite hybrid zucchini, burpee hybrid cucumbers,  fresh prickly hybrid cucumbers, summer dance cucumbers, sugar peas and pole beans. I feel as though I should gasp for air after that list, but I’m not done… I also planted the snap dragons, common lilacs, peking lilacs, logan berries, mock oranges, wood roses and last but not least I planted the gladiolus bulbs. If that wasn’t enough for today, it all was followed up by a several hour board meeting for our astronomy star party… and that is where this lovely picture was sketched. I’m ready for bed.
