With mire intense summer heat and sun coming, the container garden will suffer. I've had them on tbe South / East deck. Things dry out too fast, wilt, and leaves sunburn.
Now is time to move them to the East side of the house. There is some southern exposure but not as much.
It's also a shorter distance to carry water. Less effort. Plants do well here.
The annual seedlings in large containers remain in full sun. They aren't big enough to dry out as fast i large containers.
The cosmos seedlings are taking off now.
I have some cilantro in there too.
I have been giving these some growth fertilizer (higher nitrogen). Maybe it's time to hold off and see how they do.
The marigold seedlings that I planted in larger containers have taken off.
I just planted the remainder. They are small, in comparison.
There were some scallions left over from thinning. They sat out for a while and dried out, but the bulbs look viable. I trimmed them up and interplanted with the marigolds. We'll see how they do.
Cleaning up the Vancouver place for sale. This will be my final crop from the trees there. Bing (red), Ranier (yellow) and tart cherries (North Star?) similar to Montmorency.
I canned the sweet cherries, seven pints each.
At Battle Ground, the Montmorency Cherry tree is loaded, almost ripe.
I set up the Gumby man to deter birds and deer.
I will need to pick them in a few days, so he can help with the blueberries.
