University of Southern Maine Dining: The sun is shining, the weather is sweet, yeah! -Bob Marley

I won't bother telling you I see the expected thunderstorm coming in, because for the past week it has been absolutely beautiful! In fact, it's been so beautiful, I moved all the plants outside, but the spinach and lettuce which of course are stationary in their beds. I was worried about them over the weekend, but I think they all loved being outside. It was also so hot in the greenhouse over the weekend that I'm afraid if I hadn't put them outside, many would have wilted!

So, the sides of the greenhouse are officially rolled up. I have now planted cucumbers, pole beans, squash, and pumpkins. Today I'm going to plant some flowers: nasturtiums, forget-me-nots, and sunflowers. I'm also going to plant more lemon balm (the first attempt failed), more mountain mint (there's only a little growing), more chamomile (they didn't transplant well), and borage (accidentally left them in the greenhouse and they're not looking so hot!)

Enjoy the pictures!!
