Last Spring Planting

One of the sweet potatoes we got at Home Depot finally started to sprout. So today I split it in two and planted them in the front yard. We haven't had any luck with anything there, so maybe that was a bad idea.

I also planted seeds of the following in the garden:

• Blue bush beans
• The last few garden beans
• The last few melon seeds
• Winter squash
• Armenian cucumber
• Dark star zucchini
• Summer crookneck squash

And in the front yard by the volunteer pansy/violets I planted some Blue flax and Showy Desert Penstemon seeds. Maybe this year they'll actually come up?

None of the tomato and pepper plants look like they're doing very well. Even though it rained last night. I switched the watering from once every four days to once every three. And it's nowhere near the heat of the summer yet.

Planted the starts

• We weren't super consistent with the hardening off, but we did get the starts outside for several hours each day.
• The peas are getting close to needing to be trellised somehow
• There are carrots and spinach and onions starting to come up
• Lots of weeding to be done, particularly in the bed with lots of sunflowers last year
• I love all the volunteer greenery and feeding weeds to the chickens!
