Container Gardening
What great weather for the first long weekend of the summer! Today it’s gotten up to 27. Tomorrow is supposed to be 26, and on Monday it’s going to be 19. Tuesday how ever the temperatures head south and we get rain.
This morning I planted a couple seedlings in containers. I put a couple marigolds in two pots as well as putting one of my many (really too many) tomatoes in another one. I also brought out a pot that I had some lettuce, parsley, and basil in to harden off a bit. I guess I left it out a little too long (even though it was in the shade) and the basil started to look a little droopy. But it’s a couple hours later now and the basil looks like it’s recovered.
I’m not looking forward to having to harden off the plants that I have. It’s going to take forever to take them out and then bring them back in everyday.
The backyard it starting to look so green now, with the leaves starting to come out on the trees. I love this time of year with the weather and the new plants, it’s all so fresh and new.
