I finally got around to planting carrots in a pot. Nantes Half Long.The bottom soil is pretty dry so it's soaking in a tub overnight. I picked up the potted marigolds that were spread about the garden, I have 10 feet of them, or 22 plus 1 tomato volunteer and 1 clump of oregano. The two squash beds are ready for planting with most of the lumpy goose manure having soaked up the water and softened.

They always grow really good when you're not ready to plant them out. This is all the squash, cucumbers, and melons. Everything good except one watermelon pot and I put more seed in it tonight in case the half sprouted thing doesn't grow a true leaf. They were all planted about 2 weeks ago.

My bell peppers are starting to develop this weird yellowing on the leaves. I'm going to call my Extension Master Gardener tomorrow and see what's going on. They should go into the ground next week.

"Susan Campbell (opinion): Is Connecticut ready for Universal Basic Income?"

"Connecticut needs this. The current presidential administration wants to make deep cuts to Medicaid, cut SNAP as it’s never been cut before, and grant rich people unneeded tax cuts. While the world burns around us, maybe we can provide for residents a modicum of stability. This is the time, and Connecticut is the place."

This is how it all looks as of this morning.

Radishes aren't showing their shoulders yet. I'm making myself be patient.

My parsley and sage refused to germinate, so I bought both curly and flat-leaf and the sage, plus a Japanese eggplant (the purple and green beauty in the front left corner, in front of parsley and next to sage). I love eggplant, spouse doesn't, so I got the smaller kind.

The Yukon potatoes I had given up on? Yeah. They're exploding.

My determinate tomatoes look good, but I'm not seeing many blossoms . . . I keep the sides up on that bed to allow pollinators access to tomatoes and bell peppers. I also narrowed the width of the plastic wrap protecting the tomatoes.

Spouse chose a cherry tomato bush and a strawberry plant. Both have fruit on them already. Not a lot, but hey. We'll take it.

Les courges sont un peu à l'étroit dans le parc à bébé recyclé.
Les premières fleurs arrivent. Premier mini concombre.
Le tout est que les fruits parviennent à maturité ce qui n'est pas gagné.
