Gourd Mourning

Last year’s luffa seeds have sprouted. Yay!

Still getting seeds in. Bush beans in front of the Akane apple. Rainbow carrots and radishes, as markers, behind the cucumbers. Have had no luck with carrots before, but here we go again.

Trying my hand a succession planting. Planted oak leaf lettuce a week ago. Seeded a large pot with mesclun greens. Always makes me think of peyote, always makes me smirk.

Victoria Day Madness

A weekend of planting madness. Can’t believe I got as much done as I did! The forecast called for up to 50mm of rain this weekend. A bit chilli still.

Summer bulbs are all in pots this year. That will mean more tending to, but I have the luxury of the time.
