May 8th, 2013

We have had a few days of gloriously sunny and warm weather.  All the crops seem to be  thriving and the seeds started in egg cartons are coming up--English peas, and summer squash.  A friend gave us some cucumber and zucchini starts, too.  We found some expandable baby gates at a yard sale that Bill rigged into not unattractive trellises for the tomatoes and the future scarlet runner beans that are starting in egg cartons.  Bill has put in a hand rail for the front steps and says he will train some more runners over that!   The beets in the east bed are visible, but no sign of carrots.  We have nice row of chard from starts I put in last week.
