early plantings

mammoth sunflower This week I have planted a few things, and held back on planting things. I planted a rhubarb that I got from Cameron’s parents, and I planted sunflowers that Cameron requested. I planted a bunch of things associated with Cameron. The sunflowers I planted in the boulevard, the front garden terraces, the middle of the vegetable garden, and some in the side yard. The rhubarb I planted on the west side of the fence between the vegetable garden and the side yard. I spread the sunflowers out so that some of them will grow. If they all do it will be amazing.

Matt requested tobacco, but I haven’t found any yet. I’m sure I’ll find some Nicotiana species this spring to plant for him.

My tomatoes are growing very fast now, working on their fourth real leaf. The peppers and eggplant are both still working on their first leaves, and the basil is being sucked dry by whiteflies from the Kniphofia.

I need to take a break from the vegetables this weekend and plant the cyclamen, and maybe those damn Kniphofia. I guess I could plant some more roots and hardy greens and stuff.

Maybe I should get my fair-weather fixed-gear working again for when the rain stops.
