planting day

this evening todd planted the beans and a chokecherry bush next to the gorinw pea beds. behind him are some pretty purple flowers, irises and tulips and something else the name of which i can't remember. there's also a valerian there, tarragon, and lavender.

we also planted the tomato garden and some hot and sweet peppers... and i sewed some chamomile seeds (behind the fence) with the onions and cucumbers. i guess they're supposed to like each other. 

and todd and i were beat at the end of the day. here's a pic of us under the lilac, sore-muscled and all done planting except the watering. we did a cursory water before bed and then got lucky and it rained last night! i have a lovely farmer's tan now -- am just lucky i didn't burn.
