It's been so long I've forgotten how to blog

 

Herb Wall 2: Electric Boogaloo

What a difference a year makes. The weather has been glorious, so I've been trying to potter out back as often as I can. A few weeks ago I put things into starter trays, and now I have a bunch of tiny plants! Two have grown so big I've already moved them to little pots! I'm so pleased.

We're scaling back on the veg, this year, but so far I've got all five tomato types started, peas, haricot vert, harrier squash, radishes, and lettuce on the go. Potatoes will go in shortly, and once we've moved the crates out of the greenhouse, there will be chard, and more lettuces. Everything else I'm doing is flowers or herbs, really. 

Trying out some sweet peas, echinacea, violas, nasturtiums, borage, Scotch marigold, and Chinese forget-me-nots. I've somehow managed to end up with a bunch of things that one plants later in the year so they overwinter. I'll try to remember that, come Autumn.

It appears that I did not kill the lavender after all

More as things get going. It's not very exciting out there - lots of pots with dirt in them - but hopefully this Summer will deliver.
