Last Frost

Last week was a need to have patience week.  Our last frost was Tues night, so planting was put off for some warmer temps.  Saturday was warmer and  prime time to plant my 3 tomato plants.

I also added a row of carrots, radishes, and beets in front of the tomato plants.  I decided to wait a couple of weeks to start the beans and squash, as the instructions on the seed packets said to wait 2 - 3 weeks after the last frost.  I also added a row of dill and basil in front of the other greens, to the left of the tomato plants.

This year, I'm going to try growing cilantro inside.  I hope I can keep some in a pot to be able to use all summer.  We just had AC installed a week ago, so it should be cool enough.  I just hate buying in the grocery store what I could easily grow myself, and I just love cilantro.  I'll need some when the tomato and pepper plants are ready later this summer, for pico de gallo.

I also weeded a bit Saturday, and put some mulch around our 2 Potentillas that greet visitors with their cheery yellow blossoms.

Whoops!  Forgot to sweep after Hubby edged.

I did this a very lazy way.  I put down newspaper, and then covered it with mulch.  I can see the white of the newspaper peeking out a bit.  I believe it is best to did out grass first.  We'll see how this does.......

I'll finish this up with some more beautiful photos of the Iris, Lilac, Strawberry and Apple Tree bed.
