Around the garden

My tomatoes and cucumbers are doing fantastic and my leafy vegetables are starting to perk up.

Enjoy your homegrown vegetables, jen.

Do they exist? They can get almost anywhere.

Nice!

Yesterday I planted out some more pea seedlings. I put these in one of the hydroponic tanks in the greenhouse and re-started the system. Luckily I cleaned things out after last season. I was not intending to put the peas there but I am thinking forward. I just hopw that the peas come into season before the weather gets too hot as they are not really a greenhouse plant and won't like heat.

I have also planted some more seeds this morning. Carrots in the greenhouse, and a few marigolds (if I remember the latin right as that was what was on the packet lol).

Indeed. A really smart squirrel would simply go onto a crash diet until they weighed the same as a bird. 

It's 'wow' again from me. I think that the only things here that attempt that kind of growth rate are the weeds

An eastern phoebe seems to have made a nest in the top left corner of our porch... they are really cute!

That's one I had to look up as we don't have them. Yes they do look cute

Yesterday I finally got round to planting some cucumber seeds as well as some sunflower seeds too. I moved things around in the greenhouse too as it is getting far too hot for the broad beans there. The kale, which I moved out the other day, seems far happier out in the open.

Some are probably less happy now as they had limbs cut off and eaten for lunch yesterday. It probably does not do to look too healthy when you are a vegetable?

I checked my plants which I have potted on from seedlings this morning. It's time for the tomatoes, at least, to go out into the greenhouse as their roots are beginning to peek out the bottom of the pots.

For me that would be one whole lettuce. 

I can only eat lettuce if it is tossed.
