First day of +30o temperature. The top is from our weather station, and the bottom is from the system that cools the basement cold storage room. The high/low are YTD figures. (09:05:2024) |
The dahlias potted in March are ready to be planted outside. (08:05:2024) |

The "greenhouse" table in Allan's workshop is a small jungle. This end has lettuce, cucumbers, and chives getting ready for the garden. (08:05:2024) |

We're in the "pause" between spring flowers being finished and the summer ones coming into bloom. One of the few spring flowers still blooming is this azalea. (10:05:2024) |

The buttercups are starting to bloom. (10:05:2024) |

Buttercups are a bit of a weed, but we leave a few to enjoy them in the spring. (10:05:2024) |

The California poppies are just starting to bloom too. They also have to be discouraged from spreading too far. (10:05:2024) |
||
Some of the lettuce has been moved outside. (11:05:2024) |

|
A movable bed with parsley, thyme, and cilantro. (11:05:2024) |
||
A tumbler tomato in the middle pot - the other two are strawberries, which are in full bloom. (11:05:2024) |

|
The columbines are starting to bloom. (11:05:2024) |
||
The posts are up to keep the deer out of the lilies and support the peonies, which look like they will be blooming soon. Netting still has to be added to the deer fence. (11:05:2024) |

More columbines at the back of the house! (12:05:2024) |
