Life has been busy. I have made time for gardening in between responsibilities but there has not been time for blogging. A lot has happened since the last post and here is a quick recap.
The final beds in the garden were amended after I cleared all the weeds out.
A second succession of peas were planted. Swiss chard, parsnips, cosmos, zinnias, dill and cilantro seed were all planted. I'm a little late on some of these things but better late than never.
An unimpressive 4 of 16 asparagus plants came up. They are about the height of a pencil but incredibly skinnier. It's about time I realize I do not have a good site for asparagus. I will try them again when we eventually move.
It's been fun watching volunteer seedlings pop up from plants that went to seed last year, like this little dill.
This is why I need to get an indoor light system going. My windowsill is bulging with seedlings started inside and they are growing leggy from trying to reach towards the sky. Most of these are in the process of being hardened off outside right now. The seedlings consist of basil, Fantasia and Music Box sunflowers, dianthus, and snapdragons.
This past weekend a bunch of work was done and I will post about it soon. We also have a big week ahead. I plan on changing some plants in our landscaping, mulching, finishing plantings for the summer garden and our new bees are coming. We ordered Carniolan bees from California this year instead of the Italian bees from Georgia we have gotten the past two years.
