Garden

[msmemory_archive]

Gloat, gloat. It's all blooming and growing. Put in the Roma tomato plant yesterday and the lavendar. Transplanted the mint from between the bricks of the steps into a proper bed.

Tonight should be basil and perhaps rosemary. And Early Girl tomatoes? If I can clear 2-4 feet of the veggie patch each evening I'll be done in a week. Whatever those weeds are (lupine?), they have to go. A weed is a plant in the wrong place, even if otherwise a fine and useful specimen - and I'm unsure those qualify even as fine. Wonderful composty loam in the veggie patch.

I think we need some minor flowering annuals in the main flowerbed, impatiens or scarlet sage or some such. And mulch for the bed/rock garden out by the street. And....

Lupine?

If they're lupine, I'll come and take some away for you, if you like. Here are a couple of good pictures if you're not sure: http://www.wiseacre-gardens.com/plants/perennial/lupine.html

Depends who you talk to

I heard from a few sources that Basil should wait a bit past the last frost date, not at it (which is about where we are). For some reason it counts as a semi-fragile plant. It also doean't reallt begin to take off until June or July (in my experience), so I guess I understand that.

This advice was given to me unsolicited and passed on likewise. Use and pass on with discretion.

And a webcam, so we all can share in your joy!

I'm holding out slim hope for galaneia's lettuce, but really we ran out of tuits for planting the rest of the garden.

Will you be doing walking tours on Monday? :)
