planting

Today I put out my last few corn plants. On top of the remaining frozen fish scraps.

One of the other, older ones (front left here) has suddenly gotten thicker, darker leaves than the others, looks very robust. I wonder if its roots just hit the fish?

Then among the corn I planted Cantaloupe

and among the cilantro and basil I put the little Cucumber plants.

Finally gave in to my desire for more flowers in the garden and dug up and moved the Marigolds, too. Now they flank the vegetable rows.

So I'm doing a lot more inter-planting this year. This plot has Cilantro around the edges, Basil in the middle, Marigolds on the end, and Cucumbers staggered throughout (with darker soil ringing them, as they just went in and got watered).

 The only thing left in my coldframe is the Watermelon plants.

I've put them into pots and they'll go out into the ground soon (clearing a corner of weeds right now to make another piece of garden for them).

Found a surprise in the Rhubarb patch! I had moved a tiny plant over from Isa's garden spot, where it got neglected. (It was from a tiny root we found hooked onto one of the main sets when I bought them). It shriveled soon after I moved it, but now is growing again!

And then I want to start more flowers, and perhaps a few more cucumber and bean plants!
