These are the plants that still need planting. Usually Mother's Day weekend is safe to plant tomatoes and basil, but this year, after a warm dry winter we got some overnight frosts in May.
The tiny plants on the right are three Phacelia and three penstemons, leftover from Xeriscape Demo Garden because they are too small to go in the ground yet. The tray of mixed perennials on the left is my haul from the Spring Creek plant sale.

@boxofdelights@wandering.shop That's too bad. It's always a gamble. I'm in Oregon near the coast and I planted tomatoes in mid April. It worked this year, they're doing amazing, but last year we had a large snowstorm at roughly the same time. It's not like we get much snow overall, but it can happen if the conditions are right from October, all the way through April. I roll the dice because it's worth it when it works.
