All but the cukes

Everything is planted in my garden ... except for the cucumbers.   I'll do that this week.   This year I read that cucumber seeds need to be sown when it is at least 18 to 20 C for them to properly germinate. 

Yesterday I planted the rest of my tomatoes and took the bag off of the one that I put out a little over a week ago, they look a little anemic but are still ok.  The rest look ok.   It is now around 20 and hopefully, it stays around this temperature or a little warmer for the rest of the spring.

The one thing I learned is that I can water my berries and tomatoes with the whey from making yogurt.   I did have some whey from the 10 days ago and then I made yogurt yesterday so I had  about 1.5 liters of whey.   I put it in my watering can and watered my blueberries, strawberries, and tomatoes.   I tried it on my tomato seedlings when they were inside and they really liked it but I only did it once because the bacteria starts growing on the peat pots.  

Garden almost fully in and watered.


 Of course, I need to fix that bench and the lattice at the beginning of the garden.   In time I guess.  What needs to be fixed first is a piece of fence at the back of the garden as I don't need anyone raiding my garden.

What I have enjoyed are the tulips I planted last fall.    It was a bag of assorted tulips bought at Costco.
