Weekend gardening

Today was predicted to be a high of 88 degrees!  Therefore, I am taking the baby tomato, pepper and tomatillo plants out for some sunshine again today! Getting them ready to sink their feet and toes into real garden soil!  

Yesterday was the first day I took them out for some sunshine.  This is known as "hardening off".  

The plants can suffer from transplant shock if they are suddenly taken from the indoors and planted outdoors in the hot sun.  It is better to do this gradually.  Let them get used to the warm temperatures, the sunshine and the breezes over a few days.  Then they will be strong and able to acclimate quicker.  

I worked on filling those other raised bed frames and got them finished!  Now they are all ready to plant!

I planted some flowers in pots and hanging baskets.


Here's what they look like.
