Radish seedlings!!
More seedlings!! (Kale?? Can't remember)
Asparagus!!!!
Garlic!
Most seedlings are up now, with the exception of most of the herbs and the peas & beans (got them in LATE!). I also made a trip up to
Lee Valley after work on Friday, and picked up a few things - all necessities, I promise ;)
Nasturtium seeds (I want to try pickling the green seed heads this year), a rain gauge, min/max thermometer, oriel feeder, plant markers, staples for holding down shade cloth and floating row cover (also bought those), some cheap garden clippers and a small sprinkler. I have almost NO garden tools, and so am gradually increasing my selection.
The rain gauge in action - I like it, since it has a floating disc that makes it easy to read.
The markers in place in the herb bed.
I also bought these tall tomato spirals. I planted four tomato varieties this year, two of which require staking (I'll be putting up netting for those), and two that don't, but will do better with some support. So I'm trying out these spirals, and am comparing them side-by-side with the traditional tomato cages. Already, I'm liking the spirals better, since simply putting the cages in the ground bent almost every one, and broke one of them. The spirals are
much more expensive, but if they work, and last longer, then they will be worth it.
I also bought a charcoal grill (not at Lee Valley)...
... and got it put together just in time to light it and grill some steak and zucchini!! Sorry, no pictures of that - I was too hungry :)
