Whenever it has been possible I have been working at garden improvement. I have been mostly focused on pruning and working on growing a few vegetables. The gorgeous Regal Geranium pictured above was an impulse buy. It is proving its worth these days. I have it potted on our deck and I can see it from my kitchen window.
We have a long weekend coming up after tomorrow. I plan to spend more time getting the garden in order. Hopefully, the weather cooperates, though we do need the rain, and I was so happy to hear the steady rain last night. We even had some lightning last night which was a blessing because it fixes nitrogen and will help the beans I planted the other day.
“Lightning drives atmospheric nitrogen fixation by using its immense heat and energy to split tightly-bonded atmospheric nitrogen molecules. These separated atoms instantly bond with oxygen to form nitrogen oxides. Rain then washes these compounds into the soil as nitrates, acting as a natural, plant-ready fertilizer. “
I don’t have much more to say today. However, I was inspired to post a picture of the beautiful geranium on our deck.
