Happy May Long Planting Weekend!

We planted a new rhododendron, an azalea and a new rhubarb patch. Pictures to follow as it is a beautiful day out and I will be outdoors for the remainder of the afternoon. 

Still getting lots of fiddleheads. These are freshly picked, steamed and blanched. 

Cold frame lettuce. 

The garden, fully planted and freshly watered. Just needs mulch. The boards are a neat trick for germinating carrots. Helps keeps the moisture in the soil for when the carrots finally germinated, about 7-14 days. The row covers are for rutabagas which, in my garden anyway, quickly get eaten to pieces.
