Waiting their turn.
Teddy and I get up in the middle of the night so she can spend time outside before the heat arrives. We've been having sunny 90 degree weather and it is just awful. And of course, my air conditioning broke.
I water just as the sun comes up.
I am concentrating on my troughs and some new tomato planters.
I'll be planting the lower garden and the one next door but the troughs and planters get done first.
I'm planting lots of peppers which I hope to roast and turn into sauces like the Korean one I mentioned yesterday, gochujang.
I've planted most of the flower planters too.
Lettuces and kale. This planter provides just enough for us to have fresh salads through the summer.

I planted hot peppers in one trough and sweet ones in another.
My bay trees and olive wintered over very well in my garden room. I love having fresh bay leaves available all year long.
Yesterday was the last day for feeding the kids for this term. They are off for 5 weeks and then the summer program begins. They requested pancakes for their last meal. And good maple syrup.
I made over 100 pancakes yesterday in my kitchen which must have been 120 degrees. Blah!
The kids ate every last one of them.

100 pancakes, in that heat, you surly must have wings,,because an angel you are.
I'm not sure I wouold have survived making pancakes in that temperature :-) I so understand those kids and that there was nothing left :-)
Have a great day despite the heat!
Christer.
plantings are marvelous.

Love how Teddy always finds the
"right" spot.
Have a happy Mother's Day! :)
I just bought tomato seedlings at the farmers market yesterday, and they are quite tiny. Another few days in pots, and then in to the garden. It should hit the high mid 80's here in the West, so as long as the nights don't get too cold, we are good to go for veggie planting!
