What Did You Do In The Garden?

[Gardening with Rabbits]

It was but we didn't transplant until late, either. Leeks & onions are out there, now.

Are you talking about seeds into the garden? I don't know, I've never done that.

I've sown both onion & shallot seed in the garden and might still put some shallot seed out there. That has worked altho shallots are not nearly the size of leeks. Still, size may not make any difference for when you use leeks in the kitchen.

No, they are leek seedlings I started. Shallot seeds, sounds kind of interesting. I might do that too.

@Gardening with Rabbits , it was only ..

. 8 days ago that the leeks went into the garden.

That would be about a month later than what we would sometimes do in a lower altitude, more protected garden and about 2 weeks later than usual in the higher, exposed garden.

Planted pole beans. It's too hot to do much now tho.

A storm is coming so I picked some flowers. Homegrown flowers can always make unique bouquets.

Caught some young ladybugs and brought them home - they arrived much earlier in Cologne.

Is it too late to plant leeks? I feel getting my last onions out in May was pretty late.

Actually it is right on time for a Fall harvest, or so says an email (May 20th) from Territorial Seed Company.

eta: oops! Hadn't read far enough; thought you meant seeds.

I got some carrots planted yesterday and so far today I have transplanted my morning glories to a pot and a couple of cherry tomatoes in pots for the patio. I put some peppers in the ground and getting ready to go plant a few tomatoes.

We got much needed rain between yesterday and today! With the help of my 9yo we transplanted almost 10 trays of seedlings. Most were flowers .
We also had:
Watermelon
cantaloupe
Tulsi
Malabar spinach
Marigold
flower mix
Forget me not

I still need to transplant few more trays which I'll do today:
Okra
Nasturtium
Zucchini
Yellow squash


I love taking advantage of rainy days to transplant. This was I don't have to water!

Tilled 1st section of main garden, dug up and tilled (hard to do, since my hostas, daylillies and other perennials have Really filled in) the two beds north of the garage.
First time I bought bedding annual flowers and planted them the next day!!
Red wax begonias with the dark leaves.
Tomorrow I will plant the red geraniums.

I harvested some salad leaves and herbs.

They are growing so well.

After picking up the outer leaves, the tiny patch looks tidy.

They also enjoyed some leaves.
