Garden

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....

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.
