what we did this morning

[rafiwinters]

We inspected everything we've planted so far. The Asiatic lily shoots are taller. The creeping jenny and the three creeping thymes have perked right up after being planted four days ago. No signs of growth on the strawberries yet, but what we planted was bare roots, so that's hardly surprising. The various vegetable seedlings are also growing.

We planted:

--more beans, including "Christmas beans"--I'd never heard of them--can't wait to find out what they look (and taste) like; also planted soybeans

--some more peas

--cabbage

--Brussels sprouts

--celeriac (I've never see that growing, either, nor ever eaten it)

We will water the garden later--tried to just now, but the hose was being squashed by J's and my car tire in the driveway. We can move the car later and free up the hose, and I'll give everything a good soaking later in the afternoon.

Oh, and also, the tree that's near the garden bed is starting to leaf out, so we should be able to do a Google image search and determine what kind it is.
