Well, May long was this past weekend, and while I didn't get the cherries I was hoping for the sale was not a complete bust. Instead, we came home with three saskatoon bushes and one Arctic Beauty kiwi.
When we got home, I gathered all out outdoor potted plants in the greenhouse, and set up the auto-waterers.
On the bench are the saskatoons and kiwis, which are new this year, along with the smaller plants from last year: a black currant, a lilac (which has already put out lots of new leaves!!!), the flowers, and two herbs: basil and oregano, which I'm hoping will come back (I busted open the seed heads into their pots, and now they're getting water every day). On the ground are last year's lilies from a coworker and another black currant from this year.
Things are leafing out in the garden too. The rhubarb and the raspberries are growing again, and the strawberries are looking good too.
The seedlings are doing great too! A week and a half ago, we started 5 pumpkins, 2 zuchinni, and 27 pickling cucumbers. We always kill the cakes so I'm hoping that by starting almost 30 seeds, we should be able to nurse at least a few to fruiting.
Is anything coming up in your garden?
