Spring day 2

Not as lovely a day as yesterday, but still a good one to be outside. A bit more raking in the back garden. Put out the trellises next to the shed, all ready for morning glory plants - the seeds have sprouted! Speaking of sprouts, some sungold tomatoes have sprouted too. And the first sowing of sweet peas are growing like mad.

On to the lawn. A full bag of corn gluten weed killer/fertilizer went down on the front lawn. Still raking the back lawn

And the buying season begins

Home Depot's coupon for $5 off a new pair of garden clippers worked like it was supposed to. It got me in the door of the store and I ended up spending far more than I planned. Well, I knew it would happen, so maybe it wasn't really more than I planned?

Clippers, some dahlia tubers, seed potatoes, pansies, a rosemary plant and a patio tomato plant.

Have also been raking the lawn and garden in bits. Time for the corn gluten weed killer soon.

Seed Planting Time

It's very late to be planting seeds. But I finally put up the plant lights and got some seeds planted. The sweet peas I planted last week have sprouted and are growing fast.  I also put in:

• Sweet Peas - Matucana (?)
• Morning Glories
• Sungold tomatoes
• Yellow Stuffer tomatoes
• Some very old Columbine seed 
• Parsley
• ??

Put some spinach seeds in some pots outside.
