Seriously, hail today. Not much but what fell was almost pea size. Needless to say the basil transplants are looking the worse for wear. Moved them to the deck yesterday. Oh well. Overnight temperature to be one or two degrees.

Planted potatoes yesterday, red, white and blue. Put in some new bean and pea seeds. The self-seeded cilantro is coming up. The first fan shaped true leaves are forming.

The radishes and arugula are showing good germination.

Too exciting, got my citrus plants today. Home Depot: from Duarte trees and vines – two Meyer lemons – one a standard, the other a bush and one calamondin orange plant and of course six bags of soil $110. Have to plant the rest of the top deck.

Some great info on growing citrus

A nice and easy Mother’s Day.
