My garden is in, so I hope there will not be another frost. I don't think there will be, but it is a possibility. Last year, there was a killing frost on June 21st, so anything could happen. I pretty much lost everything and had to start over.
Starting over is a big deal because the season here is so short. In general, the last frost is at the beginning of June (or mid June) and the first frost can be as early as the end of August, but by September for sure. That is a short time frame!
Many of my seeds have not even come up yet, but at least everything is in. Every bit of this garden is planted with something, except for where the stepping stones are.
I plant in patches instead of rows because I am weird. I think that I can get more plants in this way, however. Even still, I whine every Spring: "the garden isn't big enough!"
This is my greenhouse. As usual I have over-planted it. In another few weeks it will be difficult to walk in there. In addition to the plants that you can already see, there are seeds waiting to germinate in there. Last year, the tomato vines were so long and heavy that I had to tie them to the rafters.
This is what the greenhouse looked like a couple of weeks ago. Stuff fills in fast.
Look at these baby lettuce! I want a salad so bad, but they are taking forever to grow. I weeded them to help them along. Maybe I can harvest some leaves by next week--maybe.
I am always panicked at this time of year because all my work can just disappear overnight if it gets too cold. So far, however, I have done okay AND I have the added bonus of rain. We are several years into a serious drought. Last year was so bad the provincial govt hired a salvage company to harvest the failed crops for animal feed. The whole year was a loss. Hopefully the drought is ending.
