Yard sale continues....................

I had a great time on Friday, I reopened my sale. I had to because we had such a storm. I knew stuff had to get wet. It did. Not as bad as it could have though. The table got wet and ruined the top but I gave it away to a lady who thought she may be able to paint it. I got outside soon after 7.30am and it was non stop, literally until I went in at 5.30. I didn't have relief because Gerry was working for the day. So I waited as long as I could and just went in as people were leaving and a car was arriving. I was starving by the time I got in because I had not had breakfast. I planned on getting set up, sorted and then go in and get some toast but oh no, soon as Gerry put up the sign they started rolling in. I had not planned on that. The day went very well though. I really enjoyed some of the people who stopped to chat. Some live close by and others asked me about England and so on. I sold a lot of stuff again but have a lot left.
Gerry is going to work on the garage this week, I took some pictures, and remember this is after we had "cleaned it out"


He had spent some time sorting and I had thought matching lids with storage bins..........well as you will see, that did not happen.


Well today he did get them all matched up and I think I have convinced him to fill the truck up next week and take a bunch of stuff to the dump. We put it out in the ally first because people will pick it up sometimes. Better to let people have what we don't want before dumping it.


I want to get it as empty as possible, The shelves I put in there from Laura'a house to use for garden stuff I am not sure if I want to leave them or sell them. I have a dresser in there that is taking up a lot of space and I can't use the drawers so I may get rid of it. Although it does give me a good work surface.

So..........we had rain for 3 days and more coming through next week. Then Thursday, Friday and Saturday is supposed to be in the mid 70s. This means the garden is......well, it's wet. It's a mess. The flowers are dying off that makes it a bit easier to see what's what. I should transplant some of the ferns while I can dig them up. So after this next sale the garden will be my next project.
The veggie garden was not a success. I think I got like 4 Zucchini and I see two tiny ones that may grow and they can take their time because I still have two in the fridge.

I had to laugh, I am not sure now what I planted but I know they are supposed to be bigger than a cherry tomato

My cukes were deformed, they did better growing up my tree last year.

The Cherry tomatoes did well

So next year what????? I really like this side garden and will put flowers in next year. I give up on trying for veggies it is cheaper to buy them.
The back veggie garden will likewise go to flowers. I will plant more herbs, they do well.


I think I moved most of the Chives from the regular garden to that plot. I may put in some sunflowers but must wait to see what cones back next Spring. I have learned from my friend Diane that some perennials will brighten things up and will pop a few of those around. Well that's a long way off and we have winter to go through yet. The Mums and Asters will soon be blooming everyone else is about done with. It's drab out there now, but will look better once I can get out and weed and tidy up.........soon.
