The bearded irises seem to be quite happy with minimal maintenance. I'll have to add the names tomorrow using my computer - this old Ipad doesn't allow it.

This is by far the mpst flower buds these have produced for me, Their full bloom will be great.
Salad garden has lots of lettuce, spinach, radishes. Also diverse other stuff, garlic, chives, and developing pepper plants.
And some pansies. They add a lot of color to the vegetables.
I hope that some of these turn out very good. I planted the last of the Dwarf Tomato seedlings yesterday. Some are in containers, some in the ground. Some of the container plants are in potting soil, but some in really big containers are in soil / compost mix or soil / old potting soil mix.
These are the Extreme Bush. Since they are reported as among the smallest of these dwarf varieties, I planted two in this approx 5 gallon container.
I thought these were all dead. I soaked the last of the 2019 batch of Pink Banana Squash seeds for a few hours, then wrapped them in wet paper towel and placed the package into a plastic covered bowl. This is four days later.
So they are germinating. The rule of thumb is that viable seeds sink and dead ones float, but all of these floated. Next test is transfer them to potting soil and see if they grow.
So far, none of the Pink Banana Squash seeds that I started out in potting soil this year have germinated. Maybe they still have a chance. All I want or need is two hills of vines.
