Hatch That Tuber

   Our little garden supervisors on a smoky day (May 11th) here in northern BC.  Wildfire season, alas, has started early, yet the kitties power through with their self-assigned duties.  Here, Bea focuses on hatching a dahlia tuber while Loulou holds down a section of the garlic patch perimeter.

Toughen Up

    I started to harden off the tomato and pepper transplants yesterday.  I am always glad when this process is finished; hauling the trays of transplants in and out of the house daily for a week and a half (or more) is a drag.

   So far, Green Beauty snow peas (large, edible pods), Gold Harvest peas (a dry cooking pea), carrots, beets, greens (lettuce, kale, chard, pak choi, tatsoi, endive), alyssum, Bachelor Buttons, and a few volunteer potatoes discovered sprouting in the compost bin have been planted in the garden.
