Marigolds!

Hey green friends!

Roscoe and I sought out to plant the marigolds this evening at our lovely community garden.  One trip to home depot later, we came to the garden ready to get our hands dirty (i still have dirt under my nails)!  We planted them as directed by our fellow gardeners but then learned that marigolds and tomatoes are great companions as they keep the bugs from eating our lovely tomato plants.  So we were advised by Pat & Bill to pay attention to the bugs-if it seems there are a lot and they are harassing our sexy tomato friends, then we need to order some more muscle (marigolds) to keep those crazy fools out of our garden!  

We have some pics of the garden and my dirty hands to prove our labor.  If you look close, you'll notice we have a garden ghost.  Seriously, I'm not kidding!  What is that white thing in the picture?!?  Freaky!!!

And we bought a nice device to go on the hose so that you can choose between "shower, mist, etc."  We found trellises for our tomato plants (when needed) and some serious looking clippers for trimming.  

One last note- Bill suggested we make sure to give the garden a good hearty watering during these hot summer days...and the evening is a perfect time for it.

Happy gardening friends...
