Nanny bought tomato plants yesterday, and per the almanac's recommendation, we set them - about 40 plants - in the ground today. Nephew Bradley had the bad fortune of showing up just as we were preparing to dig the holes, and we drafted him on sight. It turned out that, once we got the holes dug and starting the planting phase, Bradley liked the work. We may make a gardener of him, yet.
I prepared hills for squash, but when we dug through the seed supply, we couldn't find any yellow squash seeds, so I'll have to make a run to the seed store tomorrow.
We sowed the first row of the garden in flower seeds - sunflowers (big and dwarf), zinnias, and marigolds.
Nanny got out Pop-Pop's "bicycle-on-a-stick" planter and put down two rows of green pole beans. Tomorrow, we're planting peas and okra.
I'm stiff as a poker, already.
