May long weekend means gardening!


Andy and I got up early Saturday morning and headed out to collect a truck bed full of "garden mix" and "nutriloam".

Our goal: overhaul the raised planters by amending the soil and planting some veggies from seed (lettuce, tomatoes, beets and carrots) with a few flowers mixed in, for color and interest. About 6 weeks ago we started our tomato plants from seed. After hardening off the seedlings, we transplanted them outdoors and now we're keeping our fingers crossed the weather will co-operate and the overnight lows will stay out of the frost zone until fall!
