Also first blossoms on the peas.
The lemon daylily opened today.
And all the cistus in the front yard are in bloom.
The salad greens that I planted on May 7 are all up, as are the beans.
Today I added compost, all-purpose fertilizer and 5 cups of fish bone meal to the sweet potato bed. I then dug a trench down the center and put IRT plastic over the top. I received the plants yesterday, but they are a bit bedraggled, so I put them in a glass of water to recover.
The tomatoes, peppers and eggplants are all in pots in the cold frame. They're ready to go in but we're due for a couple of cool days with rain, so I think I'll keep them under cover for now. I planted the squash in two large pots on the deck, also four cucumber plants with a cage around them. The melon starts are just about setting-out size.
Oh, and the parsnips have finally come up. But alas, no asparagus yet.
The older lemon cypress has died suddenly, maybe from drying out when it was hot. We've decided to find a home somewhere else for the newer one. Too fussy.
The pots on the deck are starting to look really nice.
