Some good news and some bad

It was a gorgeous day today, it was so hot and sunny it was almost summer weather. So I decided to take advantage and spend some quality time in the garden (but isn't that what I always do these days :P).
I planted another blueberry plant. They say for best results to plant more than one variety so I now have a Harti blueberry and a Duke blueberry. One produces in the summer and the other in the fall. I also planted some potatoes that I had kept indoors to sprout, they were just little sprouts but I thought they would do better out in the sun. I also planted some garlic cloves that had sprouted in my fridge. I'm hoping they take since my sweetie is really hoping for home-grown garlic. I also planted some Walla Walla onion and some dill. Then, in the greenhouse I planted some Roma tomatoes. I haven't decided if I'm going to keep those in the greenhouse the whole summer or if I'm going to move them outside. Hmmm....
My brother also came by today to help me dig out the other plot. It was quite the job (we found plywood, plastic and garden netting in there) but it looks like it's ready now. The seeds I order for that plot should be here sometime this week. My friend had told me about this seed mix which is corn, beans and squash and I was intrigued so I looked it up online and I had to have it. So that will be going in the new plot.
The bad news is that we found a ton of tent caterpillars in our apple tree. We had to cut them out, there really isn't anything else to do about it. So we lost a fair number of branches from our only apple tree. The other thing that made me sad today is that our clothes line (which was torn down during the wind storms this winter) won't be up and run for quite a while. It was so hot out today I tried to fry some of my clothes out on a little fold out laundry rack. A little disappointing. The other unpleasant thing I noticed today is that I got sunburnt while I was out in the garden yesterday. My whole face and my arms were burnt. Because I'm so fair I burn quite badly and it hurts a lot.
To end on a happy note, I had a yummy dinner with my brother and our friend from across the street. We had BBQ Cajun chicken with focaccia bread and steamed yams and onions with fig goat cheese. So good! And we got eat our dinner outside....ah yes summer is coming!
