Thanks, guys.
Victor, all are welcome to the 'patio' but it's really a round patio table that I roll around for sun or shade. It's all lawn & gardens. You should be generating plenty of electricity this week. It's getting hot. The 'patio' has been moved to the shade, lol.
Carrie, A-Musing is fine, lol.
Yankee, It's getting late to plant strawberries. Mine are in full bloom now. That was a bed I planted last spring, they filled in nicely. I actually had to thin them out a bit. It's so warm and dry that I've started to water them. Last year we were in a 3 week monsoon.
I moved my Amaryllis out today. Under some trees for a while to get used to the great outdoors and not get sun burned. They were getting lanky in a west window.
I've had a very hard time getting the tomato seedlings to prosper. I'm not sure what went wrong but I may have to buy plants, heaven forbid, lol. I'm going to plant them this weekend, a bit early. If a frost gets them, so be it. They are not doing much in the pots.
My pepper seedlings are doing fine. Go figure.
This is the first year that the cold frame is NOT overflowing. I hardly started any seed compared to past years. Anybody want some seeds?
My veggie garden is shrinking too. No peas, cantaloupe or onions this year. Maybe I can drop some perennial seeds in there.
I have Dahlias, oxalis and glads coming out of my ears. There is a fund raiser plant sale this Saturday, I may donate something there.
It's a curse, you know. To save all these bulbs, roots, tubers and seeds.
This is my patio, lol.
