Yesterday I planted summer squash. I planted two zucchini starts in each of two hills to the south of the zucchini patch. I planted cavili squash in the three hills to the north of the zucchini patch. 
Today I walked around green lake, picked up a chunk of Iris pseudacorus to see if it will grow in the foetid pool we have in our back yard. The only things that have been growing in it are algae, some unusually persistent land weed, and insect larvae. I stopped at PCC and picked up a much-needed big ginger root, an eggplant, a bottle of red wine and two pots of strawberry plants to compliment the three that Cameron gave me last year and a brownie.
I planted the strawberries and removed the tall grasses and Spanish Bluebells that were shading the strawberries from last year. Miles put the Iris in the barrel along with some other plant I found in the lake that looks like some kind of mint. Hopefully water mint. Perhaps they will be able to tolerate the barrel.
