Garden Tour, May 22, 2022:

A new garden flag always cheers me up! Thanks, Puppies, for running off with the other one. Additional security features added.

'Cat's Eye' mini Iris and some random asparagus that popped up.

Strawberries are blooming and setting fruit. 'Honeoye' variety.

Salad greens and Pansies and my favorite frog.

Trying to keep my straw dry. Happy tomatoes and peppers and a few other things waiting to go in the garden beds. In the back, the three Rosemary I kept alive indoors over the winter. Freshly potted and happy!

Zukes, Cukes and Winter squashes.

My 'Tea & Herb Garden' for this season. I just added a big pot of Lavender to the porch, too. And, yes. That's lettuce. We'll eat them before the herbs need more room.

An old colander I lined and filled with Violas.

Potatoes are chitted, cut, dried and ready to go into The Big Garden. Kennebeck, Red Norland and German Butterball.

Great pictures. Love the colander for a planter.

Diana,

Your house looks like my mothers when it was all cleaned up!

Great pictures and some good potted seedlings waiting for the garden!

A greenhouse is a good thing! Everything is a planter if you look at it the right way! And I can see your hill off in the distance!

Ice Queen head lettuce and shisito peppers to the right of fence section. Peas against the fence. Tokyo turnips, brocolli, cabbage in front of that, then leaf lettuce, then mustards . Tomato plants in the back and potatoes in the blue barrel sections with more tomatoes in front of those. Mulch is leaves, some shredded. The shredder collection bag on my leaf blower blew a hole in it and I don't think the material is strong enough to sew. Found replacements on ebay for $20
