I has tomato seedlings, finally!

According to the weather guy it's going to be basically the same weather for the next week. Cloudy in the morning, warm and sunny in the middle of the day, wash, rinse, repeat. So take my word for skies are blue with occasional small streaky clouds. It was warm enough yesterday and today I actually watered. Seems to be in schedule for every other day right now.

If not for zooming and circling wouldn't be able to find the butterfly on the lemon bush. I think it is a Painted Lady which is very cool, I think she was just checking out the leaves for moisture. 

The Tomatillo at the trellis succumbed to something chewing on the stem. It was on it's side yesterday when I went to check on things. Oh well. The other cauliflower is finally making a good flower head and the other one is bigger than the palm of my hand. I think we will have a big enough head to harvest before the end of June. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I did close up the leaves again on the cauliflower but left the netting off and then... what do my eyes behold... I have tomato seedlings finally! They are sooo late this year because I didn't start them correctly. Must have heard me threatening to go buy plants at the store. Still nothing from the squash or fish peppers but I think the ones in the long container the tomatillos were in are struggling to survive.

Lesson learned, do not use potting or raised bed soil to grow seeds. I really wanted squash this year and at this rate I'm going to be going into fall with tomatoes and other things when it should be changing over to cool season veggies. I'm going to try and get some of those peat pellets but a larger box of them for next year.

I just can't get enough of these flowers. The one I cut two days ago is fading but still smells as strong as if I just cut it. Amazing flower for fragrance and a good blended pink. I went to double check to make sure I had the right name and so many pictures that were not it simply because of the way analytics and search engines find photos. But it is it for sure and the one in the background is definitely Paradise. 

Wonderful time of year for flowers, just wish my garden was looking as good.
