UK Arboretum

Is where we set off after church yesterday. It was beautiful! Not only were the plants gorgeous but the atmosphere was just breathtaking. We were surrounded mostly by green and some assortment of spring colors. Although some plants and flowers have just started to grow, we were nevertheless amused with those that have already bloomed.

More pictures below will speak for themselves.
Sorry to say, I do not know their names.

We’ll definitely visit the place again.

Hopefully everything has radiantly blossomed by then
and the butterfly sanctuary will then come into actuality.

Now planted

two on the patio

nine of them indoor

I was told by hubby that a notice in the laundry room stated that we are not allowed to put anything on our patio since it will block the passage of other tenants. I debated that some of our neighbors have their plants, gas grills, benches and chairs situated on their patios so why can’t we place our tomato plants on ours? But after realizing that we’ll probably need more space than that of our patio for them all, I decided to just have them in door and set only two on the patio, right beside our door.

So there, my indoor tomato garden and the two on the patio all serve as ornaments to our apartment. I hope they will survive and grow healthy and bear fruit very soon. Yumyum…

Tomatoes for a bad day

Today is one of those bad days that I have to patiently deal with. First, my proctor did not show up for my most awaited final exam. I waited for him for three hours, hoping he would somehow come out from wherever but he really did not. Next, the car won’t start when we finally decided to leave the test center. Hubby suspected the battery is malfunctioning. That only means that we have to go have it checked and see what’s wrong or worse, to confirm a need for a battery change.The latter was validated at the shop and more than a 100 bucks was swiped.

On the lighter note, we kept our promise to help Kathy, an office mate, on her yard work. Hubby mowed her yard while I help her plant her tomatoes, broccoli and some other perennial flowering plants. It was fun! I enjoy planting and would love to see them grow. I wish we had a yard as huge as hers that we can work on too. She sweetly compensated us with her remaining tomatoes, some pots and topsoil with fertilizer for planting them.

I planted one after having enough time to rest.

There’s surely more than enough for our little patio.
I wish I still have some energy to plant them all.

Okay then, I’m just too tired for now.
I’ll surely post more shots of them as soon as we get them planted and settled.
