WOW we had a good day here on Sunday at Becky’s Greenhouse.  Busy, and plants went to be in the gardener’s garden, and not here.  Thanks for coming.  This morning it was busy, but finally I got the watering completed on the outside wagons, and racks.  Natalie, a high school senior did all the inside yesterday and rain the tank out of water.  But they are nice and wet.  With the sunshine and the heat, they are growing.  It looks like this week good temperatures, so will move out more plants.  Some of the single tomatoes are perfect, so move them out to harden them off for you so they are ready to go into the garden. 
​
I am a strong believer to wait till around the 15th of May to plant the tomatoes out, but it looks like the next 10 days will be warm.  It will be ok to plant when your garden is ready.  With all the rain, we want the garden soil not too wet, if you work it up wet, then you have those clumps all season long.  That is a voice of experience because I did that for one year.
Our temperature at 3:00 PM is 72F(22C)  lovely spring day.  Clear blue sky and a little breeze.  Enjoy, stay safe.
 
Australia family and friends for their May 6, Tuesday will be 76F( 24C0 close to our temperatures but they are partly cloudy with wind gusts up to 18MPH.  Enjoy and stay safe. 
 
I do need to give a little advice and this is just one reason why gardening is good for your health.  Most of us know that gardening benefits our bodies and makes us happy. Even so, it’s very cool to see how research backs up why gardening improves both your mental health and your immune system! If you’re resolved to live a healthier lifestyle, eat better, and exercise more, gardening can give you all of these.
Many studies have shown that gardening improves people’s health and well-being. There have even been studies that show that people who garden live longer! Over a decade ago, author and longevity expert Dan Buettner visited communities known for having many centenarians (people who live to be 100 or older) to discover the secrets to their well-being and longevity. He was surprised to see one common and shared activity: Gardening!
Reason #1 Sense of accomplishment
The world may be chaotic, but we can bring some sense of order to the garden, even for a little while. It is rewarding to look out on a neatly weeded and mulched vegetable plot or a well-planned flower bed bursting with color! Providing fresh fruits and vegetables for your dinner table is another huge accomplishment.
There you go, what a great reason to garden.  You will benefit from this, so glad you are doing it, or give it a try in your life.
