Warm March Weather Brings Gardening Bug

Yepā€¦trees are blooming, warm breezes flowing, and the gardening bug has hit big time.  I have a couple of areas I can have some raised beds in, so I am toting the soil and making my bedā€¦.to grow on it.
DSCN1918  I had to laugh.  These look like body bags ā€“ too much zombies in my life these days (hint, hintā€¦I still have 1 1/2 days of filming it seems.)
DSCN1919 This is a 4X4 bed and I plan several more.  Right now I have lemon thyme, thyme, curly parsley and rosemary in the corners with a couple of lettuce and arugula and spinach.  Radish and carrot seeds are planted, some dill and for fun, a couple of mammoth sunflowers.  Oh, and some basil.  Canā€™t have a garden without basil.
DSCN1917  There is pineapple sage, regular sage, some leeks, onions, marigolds, petunias and a couple of Gerber daisies I couldnā€™t resist, they were so bright and beautiful.
And all of this done with my still ailing toeā€¦ā€¦.on a foot that desperately needs a pedicure.  DSCN1924  It seems I have this problem.  I keep going along like I didnā€™t do anything to Mr. Middle Toe and then I go and do something (like shut the refrigerator door with my bare foot) and miss it up---or rather not rest it like Iā€™m suppose to be doing.
DSCN1920  Now, isnā€™t this much better than my old, ugly foot!
I have placed my order with NC Tomato Man for tomatoes, basil, peppers, watermelons and cucumbers.  I have been buying from him for years now and I love talking to him.  I wish he would write a book about the stories behind the tomatoes.
Anyway, unfortunately, even though the light is still out and the temperatures are niceā€¦..I have class to go to.  Hopefully, she wonā€™t check under my fingernails!
