The Last of the Sowing

Sowed my last set of seed on Sunday, 5/24. I got my corn, green beans and sunflower seeds into the new raised bed. As soon as I see sprouting I will plant the 2 new cucumber plants I purchased over the weekend. My original purchase died because I missed watering it for 1 day. The newbies are staying in the garage where they will be protected from the intense sun.

The peas and snow peas are finally getting tall and producing flowers. I hope to have something to harvest off of them soon. I need to harvest my cauliflower. Both heads are huge! I bought more coconut milk today in anticipation of making some yummy curried cauliflower. The tomato plants are already larger than their cages. I need to get the 2nd tier added this week.

I tried to divide and transplant some hostas today but after all the rain yesterday it was just too mucky. I succeeded with one. Will have to wait on the rest. The plus side to all of the rain was that it was "easier" to get the dead/dying Andorra junipers out of the front landscape bed. These have been dying because they are not getting enough sunlight now that the maples in front are large and casting a lot of shade. It was still a lot of work. I got all 6 dug out in an hour or so but that was all the work I could handle for one day! Not sure what I will replace them with...if anything.

Dave and I trimmed up the weeping cherry tree in front. It looks so much better now! I had let it get a little too overgrown. Now I need to figure out how to prune back the viburnum that are as tall as the house! :)
