Two gardens in, two to go

pegkerrIt's early, but I was impatient. Last year I ordered a bunch of plants and then they sat around in their little pots for almost a month before I got them into the ground. I was too depressed to garden; it was cold and rainy. The basil died right after I transplanted it, so I had to get all my basil for pesto from the farmer's market last year.
Today, I planted the flower/vegetable garden--nasturtiums, marigolds, basil, pepper plants, lavender, strawberries, tomatoes. The asparagus is already in. Yeah, yeah, it's dropping down to 40 degrees tonight. So I'm a fool. I did put the tomatoes in wall-of-waters; I had THAT much sense.
I also planted the geraniums in the pots and the impatiens bed in the front. The impatiens I ordered from my church looked awful, with yellow, droopy leaves and speckled foliage. Overwatered, perhaps. We'll see if they recover after being in the ground for awhile.
I was hoping to plant the cutting flower seed bed by the garage and put in the perennials I'd ordered (astilbe, sedum, monarda/bee balm, etc.) for the pink garden on the south side of the house tomorrow, but it's supposed to rain for a good part of the day. Highly doubt I'll get the lawn cut, either.
I even did an aerobic workout today, too. And dropped Rob's prescriptions off at the pharmacy. I tell ya, I'm a saint.
