Finally got the fleece over the cabbages, but wrestling 15 ft/4.5m of fabric on a windy day by myself was no fun. It's ALWAYS windy here so it was challenging.Hope it holds up.Got the trellis in for the beans & it looks like the soil might finally be warm enough to sow the seeds. We've declared TOMORROW is plant out the tomatoes day! I've gave a cart load of tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant plants to the neighbors, so they'll be busy, too.

Closeup view of the display on a digital soil thermometer. Device is an ovoid shape and is yellow and green plastic with a metal probe out the bottom stuck in the ground. Display reads 69⁰ F/20.5⁰C and bottom of the display shows WET soil conditions.
A 15 foot/4.5m row of cabbage plants completely covered by white agricultural fleece. Row is extending away from viewer. Fleece is supported by an arch of wire fencing material and weighted down by metal fence posts on either side.
A 5 x 12 foot / 1.5 x 3.7m bean trellis made out of green metal fence posts lashed together to provide a frame. In the frame is fastened white plastic netting with 4 inch/10cm spacings. The whole frame is vertical in a garden row with bare soil showing underneath. In the background can be see part of a grey house and several apple trees in a grassy area. Overcast sky.

Gentrification, nursery edition.

Our previously solid local nursery has been shifting to more decorative plants to the detriment of its fruit/nuts/veggies assortment.

Not much different anymore from the Home Depot & big box garden centers, complete with useless metal & plastic decorative stuff.

Retail shipping of live plants here is not really practical much of the year -- they get literally cooked.

I used to be sad at how much shade there is in the yard. Now I wish there was more because the plants are so interesting!

I took a pic of the forming flower buds of the Solomon's seals (Polygonatum biflorum) in sun or we wouldn't be able to see them. You'll need to zoom in anyway. 🙂 Wood sedges (Carex blanda) are still in the pots but going anyway. #NativePlants #gardening

A small stand of about nine Solomon's seal plants growing out of a dried leaf covered ground. The slender leaves are filling out and the stalks stating to arch over as is the form of this plant. Small hanging flower buds are forming.
Two wood sedges still in the green pint pots. They have small whispy white flowers forming anong the thick green leaves.

Today's project for Mother's Day: extended this planter by three courses of 4x6 to make it higher for ease of access and hopefully to make it dog resistant as well.

This is for some random herbs and leafy greens.

Raised planter built of 4x6 5 courses high, filled with soil and has some new plants. There is a wooden fence in the background and a pot of freshly planted marigolds in front of the raised bed
