Bountiful Plant Starts + New Wicking on Sub-Irrigated Planters

Wednesday

Spring is fraught with anticipation and then--boom!--everything seems to happen at once. Yesterday I walked over to Bruce's to pick up some plant starts. Are they ever glorious.

Tomatoes
 Peppers

Carl guards them on deck

The coop is looking mighty with its racoon-proofing

Today we were up before the heatwave so Art could make saw cuts in all our SIPs to get them ready for the fabric wicking we now prefer over the soil-packed drink cups.

Windowsill portable micro-gardens thriving in the southern exposure. They needed water today after our 90-degree temps yesterday (and could I just say, WTF?--it's May!).

Also got a couple Tomatillos Two-Color Fiesta from Renne's Garden (seeds from last year) into our adopted earthbox.
