My Peony - I am really hoping this year that it blossoms.
Last year it did nothing but it's really getting big now!!!
Not a very aesthetically-pleasing corner of the garden - yet ...
So pretty! I'm told you can eat violets - I might
just get some and do up a 'high tea' this week!
Pretty Tulips - I'm trying to get all
the flowers into the south bed now!

Shelf at Trinity Bellwoods Greenhouse (Tuesday) 5 May 09
I went to the Greenhouse on Monday, Tuesday and again today
(Saturday after the Parkdale Horticulatural Plant Sale). The plants
were damp - so they seem to be doing very well in here. I'll have
to begin hardening them off as well. I am hoping that the three
shelf mini-greenhouse unit I got at the sale today will accommodate
enough of my plants so that I don't have to bring too many in and
out over the next 10 days of hardening off - like last year. Heck that
wasn't a really fun part of the job but it sure was a really dirty one!

window - all got newly staked today (Saturday) 9 May 09
I didn't post because I've been trying to catch up on other things
I fell behind on after the Conference and getting the flu! UGH
I spent a half day after work digging up weeds last Wednesday
and recorded it. It looks like a 2 ton gopher got loose! I really
liked the look of all the purple violets at the back behind the
hens & chickens. There were so many more violets springing
up all throughout the allotment so I got them all into this area
... pretty well just dug them up with lots of soil and flung them
there rightside up and into spaces where they could 'get a grip'!
I am hoping they all just take like they seem to have throughout
the garden. Then I set to digging out huge clumps of dandylions
and clover and clumps of grass! I brought home some stinging
nettles for tea and dandylion flowers are now in the freezer waiting
for me to use them to make muffins or scones, or something yellow.

You should hear it out there this evening (Saturday) 9 May 09 ...
thunderstorms all day long! I hope it gets it out of it's system by
tomorrow - I am hoping to spend time in the garden getting another
patch weeded and I want to plant in the rhubarb and strawberry plants!
I also have lettuces up on the roof that could go in as well (I think)!
