Shuffling people
Time to shuffle people around again already, as my eldest's college gets out earlier than others (starts earlier too, to their annoyance when it's summer) - they are in finals...seems the next three days I get to be driving over to the city whenever I have a sufficient block of time, taking empty boxes scrounged from the grocery and coming back with whatever my car will be filled with. Thank heavens we already got a heavy bed and a futon moved, I think I can manage the rest by myself if I need to - which looking at other family member's schedules may be exactly what I'm looking at.
Eldest is going to inhabit the 2nd bedroom of a condo we have a disabled friend in, it gives her a place "of her own" for the summer, instead of having to feel like she's moving back in with parents, a sentiment I completely understand. A friend of hers will be taking up the resulting empty slot at our house, however, so we'll still be pretty full up. I am so grateful that we have a house big enough for them each to have their own room.
In other news, I am yanking out an English Laurel and in it's spot will go a much better-mannered native, a Strawberry Tree along with a bit of Salal. Much nicer, and considerably less invasive. My yard is awash in its annual carpet of bluebells, tulips, forget-me-nots and columbine and everything is looking just lovely in spite of it being a cool spring. Mm!

I have just removed all the dying tomato plants and put in some brussell sprouts and peas.
After a lot of rain recently I notice my vegetable garden is full of sweet pea seedlings that must have seeded down from the trellis close by.
And where to put them where they will survive the (already cold) autumn?!
Not sure if it's helpful but if you need boxes check out off licence liquor stores. The boxes are often stronger, to cope with carrying glass and liquid in bulk :-)

We usually don't start planting until after the May Two-Four.
