Yeah, the wind was something. It knocked some size-y limbs in into the garden. The garage temp was 36 this morning so hoping everything is fine outside. Blah, I’m hiding inside from the loony neighbors and all their hoopla today. I want to get out the new tomatoes and peppers this weekend. They’re a little small since I had to restart them after the hail and flooding a few weeks ago but this is May for goodness sakes! There are several volunteer tomatoes here and there so if the weather doesn’t start cooperating, it may come down to them.
The old hanging baskets are falling apart so I broke down and bought two new ones. Yikes, prices have gone up. Will plant them with herbs. I’m still waiting on the herb garden to see what’s coming up so it can be filled in. There’s another big pot that is waiting for the corner of the porch to get cleaned off so it can have a new home and start some herbs.
I finally noticed, duh, the lettuce mixes have such an interesting variety that I’d like to somehow plant enough to really see what’s what, let it go to seed and then plant some varieties separately. Just a learning experiment.
I thought this year’s garden plan would be the best use of space but the other day re-mapped for next year with narrower paths and wider rows. There’s still one corner that is inaccessible but can’t stand that it’s vacant.
Spit watermelon seeds into that spot. ;)
