Waiting for the warmth

1. 5 ground is ready for them. There'll be plenty of time later on to grow them. If it turns out that our growing conditions (part shade, sandy, Toronto) aren't a good fit for the plants I want to try, well, there are other plants. No big deal. More things to learn In the meantime, I can focus on the plants that like this cool weather. I've been moving the strawberries around to catch CUCUMBER more sunshine. The hostas turned out to be edible, but HOSTA Sp RADISH PONT 2023-05-01-09 Can't rush the garden. No sense in planting the seeds that want warm soil before the UCT 1 LAVENDER as we divided them recently (last year? the year before?), I should probably let them grow a little more before I try to tuck them into more places. The radishes are slowly sprouting. Last year's dianthus has come back, along with the lavender (second year now!) The daylilies are back too, and I'm tempted to try the tubers but that's a bit riskier. Still waiting for spinach and lettuce. In the meantime, there's alfalfa to sprout in a jar and seedlings to keep nurturing (the bitter melons are getting a little grabby), and photos to unearth and notes to organize... The average last frost date (May 11-20) will be here before I know. Plenty of things to do until then. (Maybe next year, I'll plant strawberries in front as ground cover....)
