Today, we had temperatures in the upper 80s and it is supposed to be the same way tomorrow. It is hard to not to go in and plant everything we can since we could very easily have frost yet. I went to Steinbrinks to attend a miniature garden class and they said the May 10 is the frost date here. We have had frost up to the 15th at our place though.
So, the garden is tilled; the grapes are tilled; the place were we are going to plant baby trees is tilled. Jim planted potates, Red Norland, Gold Rush, Kennebec, and Yukon Gold. He also planted white and yellow onion sets.
I planted pansies north of the shop. It doesn't get sun there. I also put some yellow violas, and a forget-me-not. I've wanted one of those for years, but they don't do well in sun, and I mostly have sun gardens. I've also planted some nasturtiums there too, from seed.
The chickens have had some outside time (in their hutch). I've continued to weed and wood chip in my flower gardens.
I have all my plants that I over winter for the deck out on the patio. I found bugs on them.
I planted my mini garden mostly with plants I bought, and the bench and swing were pretty pricey, but I used my birthday money for them. The trees are coffee plants, the "vine", a wire plant, I also bought some cute little hen and chicks thingys.. I have some sedum from my garden. Most of the stuff is tropical house plants, I have a polka dot plant and I don't know what the other is. They are so cute, but I suppose you need to buy the little ones every year or they will get too big.
