Much better weather this weekend. 50s at night and 70-80 during the day.
Moved raspberries that had escaped from west gardens to driveway garden. Put those sedums behind garage and threw some compost on top. Soil on east and south side of garage is very rocky and dangerous to cut grass because the rocks fly all over so working on planting sedums there which should choke out weeds and not get too tall.
Planted out sprouted indoor plants; fern leaf dill, red spinach, poppy, bloomdale spinach, mesclun, alyssum, sparky marygold, chamomile, nasturium, cilantro, sweet majoram, thyme, greek, blue, and lime basil. Most went behind west gardens except for basil which I planted in patio gardens. New planting technique. Dug square hole, dropped seedling out through bottom, then used pot to shade and protect plant.
Cilantro and dwarf orange hat tomato blossoms. Picked a full container of volunteer cilantro to freeze. Fern leaf dill in patio garden is growing slowly.
Picked 2 radishes. Picked oregano and volunteer dill to dry. Started it about 12:15 noon but still not dry at 10pm so went to bed. Must be too humid.
Finally some of the wild milkweed seeds have taken. Hope my neighbor doesn't weed wack them down like he did my wild strawberries that I started planting under the fence behind the garage. He only went up to the lillies. So I made sure to weed along our fence west of the lillys. Magnolia peas are very tall. Previously planted marygold and nasturium are doing well. Not sure if I like the taste of nasturiums but my husband does so it's a good summer green, along with kale, new zealand spinach and wild colorado spinach. I'll keep planting mesclun indoors along with other greens and bringing it out but I expect it to bolt pretty quick.
More peas, radishes, one young turnip, and greens. Also thinned out 1 carrot.
