Plants, bulbs, and seeds

Anni enjoying the sun and her bike.
Note the short sleeves and shorts!

Today was another beautiful sunny day. So, it was another day in the garden. We started by planting lettuces in bed #1 . Then, we distributed marigolds throughout the future tomato bed (7) and within the potato beds (2,9,12). Then it was time for nasturiums to be added to beds #13 and 14. Zucchini joined bed #13, while the flower bed #6 got 5 crocosmia and 5 falling star bulbs and a lavender plant. Bed #4 got another sage plant.

Our seeding efforts took two fronts; direct seeding into the garden beds and into intermediate pots. We planted spinach, royal burgandy bush beans and Italian black bush beans in bed #11. We potted super sugar snap peas, mammoth melting sugar peas, and green arrow bush peas. We added carrot seed and 2 types of radishes to bed #15. Bed #5 got bunching onions and sweet yellow onions. We also potted leeks and garlic chives.

The tomatoes, peppers, and basil all came out to soak up a bit of sun. Tomorrow, it's time to plant a berry bush and take care of the front yard.
