weekend 'work'

We found C a child-sized wagon for $3 at a yard sale.





We finished planting vegetable seeds -- C planted some too.


I went to 'flower day' and bought roses (and some marigolds). Look what i got -- a rose actually named Nicolas! With the right spelling too. Of course it is red, so i didn't put it in his garden!! Perhaps that was bad of me, because the rose pricked me twice while i was planting it..maybe i should move it? Maybe he is sick of this white theme. It is possible, we will see....

For Nicolas' garden i bought two roses -- Rosa rugosa alba and it's double form, Blanc Double de Coubert. Neither of them are blooming yet so i will not post pictures until then. I couldn't decide which one to buy, so eventually i bought both...the perfect solution, eh?



This was today's impulse buy...i could not resist the color and the fragrance. It is a 'Renaissance Rose' (whatever that is), named 'Amelia'. In any case it is some new development in the world of roses. I am just pleased with how pretty and fragrant it is....


Here is another picture of C, 'helping' in the garden...
