Busy day transplanting and sowing

Almost everything is in the ground now.

Yellow beans:  After 2 hours of soaking, sowed about 12 seeds under each tripod pole.  Put the plastic crow in the middle in the hopes it will deter whatever made a meal of so many of my pea seeds!

Peppers, cucumbers, zucchini:  All have been planted now, except the one "reserve" zucchini planted late which is still inside under lights.  I'm sure I should have kept especially the peppers inside longer until the weather really warms up, but...  Oh well, too late now!

Ground cherry:  Saw ground cherry seedlings at the garden store, never grew one before, so bought one to give it a try.  Sounds really neat -- I hope it works!

Petunias:  The original, now very leggy, petunias are now in planters in the yard.  (The later round will get planted out front soonish.)

Basil (green as well as purple), parsley, coriander:  Sowed these in planters, just for fun.  The coriander is from 2012 so no idea if it will take.

Wildflowers seed packet:  Sowed a packet in another of the planters, again just for fun to see what happens.
