Finished planting and fixed fence

We finished the spring planting over the weekend, with a few flowers. The move from cold spring to hot summer is always so sudden Edmonton (two days this year).


The potatoes we put in a few weeks back are just up. We also put in two haskap plants and a cherry tree and they seem to be doing well.

This tiny tulip (maybe the diameter of a toonie) has a tiny mason bee inside.


Last night we put out the tomatoes and basil Jess had grown. In the foreground are the peppers. This is the hottest part of the garden with the bounce off the garage so I'm hopeful for a good crop this year.

We spent most of the previous weekend disassembling two sections of fence the has pulled apart when a post rotted out. Then we put in a new post, rebuilt the panels (salvaging a much wood as we could) and installed them. They aren't perfect but there are good enough for the fence on the north side of the garage.


We now turn to watering, weeding, and waiting for stuff to germinate. Onions are garlic are well up. Peas are a mixed bag. Beans, pumpkins, squash, and carrots are still waiting.
