We got snow after the May long weekend (Victoria Day).

good to hear that I am not the only one getting bad weather this spring.

Been building more raised beds, and I think I have found another way to use this pallet racking, this is my first attempt at using it this way. I am starting to think this pallet racking is like lego, but for adults.

I have two raised beds and the rest of my plants in planters. zucchini was a battle this year. Out of all that I started, I got two plants. They're going strong out in one of the raised beds now. They were started by soaking the seeds for a few days and then into peat pots, then when they were bigger, they went outside into the square foot bed. Cucumbers, I have three now. I had four, but the 'runt' seems to have died. I have about ten tomato plants od various sorts. Some of those came from seed from Manitoba, others came from (believe it or not) a kit from the dollar store. A rolled up, pre-seeded, moisture mat. Drop it into a planter, keep well watered, and voila! Tomatoes. It really was that simple until I realized they were all crowding each other. They're all doing really well out in the square foot garden too. I also have two bell pepper plants and two Hungarian pepper plants. I think they're about to flower. On a whim one day in town, I saw tomatoes "guaranteed to bear fruit by July 31 or your money back". Not sure what sort they are, but we love tomatoes so it doesn't matter too much to us. They're doing well.
The first and second crop of peas are doing very well in the trough planter, but I think I may have planted them a bit thick. It's time to start the next crop. I started collards and kale the other day, without soaking the seed. In only three or four days they're already green shoots. They'll likely be ready for the square foot beds sometime next week.

Now if only my carrots would do as well...
