We went away for part of the weekend and as you know the garden chores don't go away when we do. Prior to leaving, I turned some partially composted leaves into the soil. So far I've amended the soil with lime and some rabbit manure. Upon returning I planted some grass seed in the yard, sowed more seeds of tomatoes, eggplant, zucchini, yellow squash, bedding dahlias, and cucumbers. Think thats it. Still have to get some peppers started. In the past I planted only seeds that I sowed and raised to maturity myself. Now being late with my seed sowing, I'm supplementing with a few store bought plants that are further along. I'll have a more staggered harvest this season.
As far as perennials go, the daffodils have seen better days with only a few later varieties still blooming. Tulips are in their prime as with Wisteria. Hosta's are in various stages of emergence. Some being well leafed out while some are just popping up. We have a beautiful flowering cherry that's in full bloom now.
