Minor gardening update
So after the bunnies ate the corn seedlings, and then bunnies or possibly birds dug up and ate the replacement corn seed I planted, I decided a physical barrier was needed. A cage of chicken wire now caps the Earthbox where the third(!) round of seeds have been planted. It has been two days and nothing seems to have attacked it, so I am tentatively calling this a win. We'll see if we can get the corn to a reasonable height before I have to take the wire off.
The pak choi went prematurely to seed. Apparently this is because we had so many chilly nights in a row. I can replant and if the weather holds cool, I'll get a bit in June, since it grows fast. Also, I can put it in the partial shade where the lettuce is. This let the lettuce grow all the way into August last year before it bolted, so that seems to be a good spot for greens. I'll do another pak choi planting in the fall.
The beets are putting up greens and the carrots are adorable little fuzzy lacy plants.
The pea plants are growing well, but no sign of pods yet. I've never grown peas before, so I have no idea when they do their thing.
Tomatoes, peppers, cukes, watermelon, some greens, and some flowers are still in seedling trays, as the unseasonable cool and cloudy (WE LIVE ON DRAGAERA NOW) has made no point to putting them out. They have better conditions under the grow light in the shelter of the porch.
No sign of the garlic or the myoga. I am very sad.
The potatoes are growing well, putting up lots of greens. I need to add more dirt and start the hilling soon.
The strawberries have a jillion flowers and are setting green fruit. I'll need to do some chicken wire around those, I predict, to keep the bunnies out.
The roses are flowering. The lilies are getting taller. The peonies have a few buds. The irises are still asleep. Everything is just waiting for the sun to come out for more than three or four hours in a row.
