Today was my first real day of watering. I got to use my brand new Black N Decker spray nozzle and I see that the building has replaced last year's hose that was cracked and leaking. It might even be long enough to reach the whole garden. I am really, really lucky that my plot is closest to the spigot.
Last night, I put about a dozen peppers in the ground - poblano and cubanelle. I put stakes next to all of them so I can see where they were in case they die off. I didn't water them in. Only one was not doing well, and it was really small compared to the rest.
The weeds are starting to pass the brussel sprout seedlings. Since I broadcast the seeds and didn't lay them in rows, I'm not sure what is what right now.
Also, the songbird seed mix got everywhere and it's sprouting. Last year's seed had been neutralized so it wouldn't sprout. Not this stuff. There was so much seed dumped on the ground from the storms that I brought the songbird feeder inside to get the birds to do some cleanup. The nyjer seed chickadee feeder was empty so I refilled it. Since the seeds are so tiny, and the chicks have to pull them out of the sock mesh, it doesn't spill, even when it's really windy. The songbird feeder will go out again tomorrow and there should be some sweet singing tomorrow evening.
I've moved more seedlings from my apartment to our greenhouse and they'll be ready to go outside in a few days. Tomatoes will be last.
