Much is already growing. But the real story is that we need rain. 16 days without a drop. Next week's 50% chance days are not filling me with hope. I do have 4 new rain barrels on order, but they won't be here until Earth Day.
Outside we have onions,
daffodils and irises,
tarragon,
and strawberries showing their noses.
Planted a few heirloom snapdragons thinned from the under the grow light in the basement. They came from a friend in Peoria. I grew them their 4 years ago and kept the seeds until now.
Planted poppies in eastern beds beside porch, along rock border and in rock pile by garden arch.
Here they are mixed with the snapdragons.
Yesterday, set up cheap-o greenhouse in three-season room and moved a few tomatoes, zucs, cucs and marigolds from the basement to start acclimating to the sun.
I also prepared the north bed with compost and raking. Need to add soil to the spice garden to keep out the grass along the border.
Inside, we have lots of things started under the lights.
I need a better system for taking notes
