The Festina beans started coming up yesterday. I had covered them with loose soil after planting in potting soil and watering for a day. Brushed the loose soil away and there they were, about on schedult. Some of the squash seeds also came up. The little stray dog dug a couple of holes in the row. May have lost a couple of plants.
Earlier in the week, I planted into RootTrainers some seeds for fall tomatoes as an experiment. We'll see how it goes.
Wednesday, I planted out my heirloom tomatoes in the side yard: Caspian Pink, Old German, Tomande (actually a hybrid Italian green-shouldered type) and Cherokee Purple. Yesterday, one of the dogs broke off the Old German.
Twice, Troy and Maggie have come to see me as I fed Sparky and Dottie. Maggie behaved herself around Dottie. Troy didn't try to jump the fence. Don't know if Troy unlatched the gate (he used to do this all the time) or if F. left the gate unlatched.
Heat wave predicted for the weekend. F.'s lettuce is bolting. We already have white flies. After blooming all winter, the perennial Scabiosia is setting seed. Time to cut it back. Always a few challenges in the garden.
