The weatherman says this weekend is supposed to be sunny and warmer.  I sure hope he is right this time!  The nights are still cool, so tomato and pepper plants still won’t like it, but other vegetables and flowers should do well.  I got out into my garden for a few hours today, and planted some more lettuce, some beans and beets, Swiss chard (bright lights) and okra.  I’ve never grown okra, this will be a learning experience.  Put in more onion sets, too, since mine are making flower stalks already for some reason.  (It must be weather related.) 

We have a container gardening workshop tomorrow (May 24th) and Dawn has been gathering plants in the container greenhouse for the participants to choose from.  I think those of you who make a patio or porch pot will be pleased with the results!

We’ll be open on Memorial Day (Monday) from 12 until 5 for those of you who want to do some gardening on the holiday.
