May Planting

 Just planted most of my seedlings this weekend!  A few of the tomatoes and peppers are from a couple of weeks ago, a bit early and not enough "hardening off" ...  hopefully this batch will fare better.

I put netting over 4 of the raised beds:


Close up view of some tomatoes and peppers, with some space reserved for strawberries (I need to buy some starters):


My fennel patch (apparently fennel doesn't mix with other vegetables, we'll see ...):


Approaching my new patio (I have 2 new Muskoka chairs arriving this week):


I don't have netting (yet) on the raised beds around the patio, and the squirrels have been treating them like a Pacific Buffet:


Close up of some peas starting to sprout (and an unhealthy tomato) - so far everything in the beds is from seed:


Putting up some temporary netting to discourage the squirrels:


Sunflower bed, also with some squirrel-resistant netting (but not before they managed to snag the one sunflower that started to flower):
