We spent part of the long weekend planting out the more tender plants, including a bunch of tomatoes.
Given that we've lost a lot of our gardening space to the garage build for this year, we only planted about 20 tomato plants: some in the box at below the back deck and some in a garden bed that I've recovered from the hedge.
Jess got pretty into it, based on the dirt on her face when it was done.
While she was planting, I was busy with the weeding in the side and front beds. A bit of heat has brought on the weeds. But it has also brought out the blooms on the saskatoon bushes. Assuming the bees get busy, it should be a good harvest!
The heat has also meant some of the potatoes we planted have pushed through to the surface. These are caribe blue that overwintered in the basement.
I still have a few plants to put in (two celery plants we've regrown from the butt plus a pair of leeks). There is also a bit of room for more flowers. And I see that the carrots have finally germinated out front. Let the thinning commence!
