Taters arrived the other day - I'm letting them sprout some before I 'chit' them and get them planted. I'm only doing German Butterball this season in one of my raised beds where I have looser soil; The Big Garden is going to be wildflowers for pollinators, and whatever Beau wants to do with his half. Until that area is raised beds, I can't keep up with the weeds. And I ain't got TIME fo dat!

It's a BIT cloudy today, but the sun's rays get through, so I moved EVERYTHING to the greenhouse for a dose of REAL sunshine. Will bring in the tomatoes and peppers tonight, and cover up other stuff...and we'll see what happens! This week I need to get Zukes, Cukes and Sunflowers started.

Cukes: Summer Dance, Sweeter Yet and Green Dragon.

Zukes: Easy Pick Gold and Spineless Beauty

Sunflowers: ProCut Orange, Soraya, Florist's Sunny Bouquet (mix) and Mammoth Russian for across the back of the wildflower garden.

Temps are still on the cool side, though it looks like we might turn a corner on the nighttime temps by Thursday. Fingers crossed!
