Well, there are a few interesting things happening today in the garden, but more interesting is this stretch of summer-like weather we are having! This pretty much never happens here in Vancouver so I have been very busy with my two boys at the water park and so on… Not much time has been...
I had a few minutes the other day so decided to plant out my leggy seedlings. I spent months doting upon them… started them indoors, lovingly watered them, saved them from being eaten by the cat or picked by the kids… I even took my time hardening them off, adding only 10 minutes o...
no sleep, but still a little time for gardening!
