Mrs. Augie and I found another 75 morels Friday evening and decided that we probably had enough, so I’ve hung up my shroom sack for now.

Went to the nursery Saturday and bought my tomato, pepper, and eggplant sets. Finished re-potting the last of them yesterday evening. Even thought the weather is nice right now I’m going to wait until after Mother’s Day to put them in the ground. Better safe than sorry.

Spent a good bit of yesterday helping Mrs. Augie plant her new flowerbed next to the deck. I did sneak in a few potherbs so the effort wasn’t entirely wasted on ornamentals.

Snap peas, radishes, beets, carrots, kale and mixed salad greens have all germinated in the garden and are looking good. The brassicas that I set out a couple weeks back are also doing well.

I have four varieties of basil started in pots in the patio. In the past I’ve always just left in the pot rather than transplanting, but I think I’m going to put it in the ground this time and see how it does there.

I’ve gotten three cuttings of asparagus so far and it should be ready to cut again by the time I get home from work today.

I hope to get my green beans and sweet corn planted this week.

Corn and beans is what hubby is concentrating on this week.

I am ready to transplant some peas, but I am going to put them in pots this year. They always fizzle out this time of year. In the past I have planted them outdoors, and they are always sgraggly and disappear this time of year.

I am thinking it is fusarium wilt, so am experimenting with pots and soiless mix.

Flowers/Roses are a nice addition to the landscape. Every now and then you do need to stop and smell the roses.LOL
