It's cold -- Seattle weather, where you wear a coat but don't need gloves. I rototilled half the garden, leaving the other half under black plastic. (Interesting note: I weighted the plastic with heavy timbers and paving stones. There was nothing alive under the plastic itself, but wherever there was a weight on top, weeds had grown: the insulation of the weight kept them from being baked. Next year, shift the weights a couple times.) I planted four columbine in amidst the 30 strawberries we planted next to the MadSciHut, and put in roughly 18 tomato plants and one pepper in the main garden. Not sure what'll go in the other half or up by the fence, although that'd be a great place for tomato or some other viney/creeping plant that needs support.
I broke the trowel, so it needs welded, after I make dinner.
