I spent a good part of the day getting my garden up and growing..  around the outter edges are purple petunias, I've read that petunias will keep some pests away... so I look forward to seeing what happens.   Then I planted 2 tomato plants (early girls), a row of lettuce, row of baby spinach, 2 rows of stringless beans, 1 green bell pepper.    Then in the corner, I put in a catnip plant... I read where catnip repels flea beetles, aphids, Japanese beetles, squash bugs, ants and weevils.    We'll see if it really repels Japanese beetles!!   

I left one area to plant my Basil.    My garden is 10' x 8'.      I'll be planting some Dill too, but in another area of my yard.      I love to cook with dill.  

Okay... my hands are tired from all the weed pullin' and digging...   so good nite.
