Started the next wave of planting today.
Inside, planted jalapeno, cayenne, cucumber and watermelon. Just recycled the cups from the failed broccoli.
I'll give broccoli another shot in late summer. Even if it gets started well now, it won't have time to flower before weather gets too hot for it.
Outside, I planted red onions. Wasn't going to do onions this year but they do help deter aphids, so they have definite value, even if they don't grow very large.
Installed the new garden gate. See if it does any good keeping the dogs out. May still have to reinforce it with a 2x2 doorjamb to block any flex of the gate. This one is stronger than the first one but still made with 2x2's, itself so it does have a little flexibility to it.
Had to repair part of the fence which the dogs managed to work through. An electric system is looking better and better.
Saw the plum tree is flowering already! Daughter should be happy about that, since she picked that one out. Not sure how old a plum tree has to be before it bears fruit. Guess I should look that up?
