I’ve sowed corn lettuce and rocket, ready for the quickly approaching winter.

my hyacinth is looking lovely this year and actually split into two. I didn’t know it could do that.

I’m worried about my lavender but I do see a tiny bit of new growth on it. currently it looks dormant still, and I’m concerned it died. wasn’t sure if I should remove the pine needles around it or keep them there, the rain I don’t think is helping but we’re getting more sunny days.

tulips are starting to open up too! my mom planted a ton of them last year, and I’m looking forward to the rose bush we planted last year growing more. she also bought blueberry plants, two of them, two different variants. Costco apparently had them, hahaha.

hoping to get more hyacinths I think. they’re really pretty, even though I don’t think they last for super long? my mom wants a flower hanging basket for mother’s day, mentioned that she wanted one that might attract hummingbirds, but I don’t think ones of those exists?

weeds, weeds everywhere

I’m now up 40 echinacea and 15 lilacs and 40 assorted elderberry (not pictured), with mulching of the pots still to be done after I sift the mulch.

Everything in the low tunnel is starting to take off too! There’s about 20 feet / 6 meters of space under this greenhouse poly - the pallets are keeping the pvc frames in place and the potted trees that are too vig to fit under the cover are keeping the poly in place very nicely. They seem to be quite happy receiving the ambient heat from the low tunnel, which is getting to some nice summer temperatures even on our chilly days.

Our local university’s ag school just held their annual heirloom seedling sale.

My front yard has heavily deer-proofed tomatoes in cages, Black Krim, Chefs Choice Black, Dwarf Tasmanian Chocolate and Momotaro.
