Planting Day has finally arrived! The May long weekend in Ottawa signals the (probable) end to the risk of frost and so it is time to get our main garden planted. This is a huge job, especially with two trouble making boys running amok. Thankfully, Charissa and Jeff picked the most wonderful weekend to visit (aka be put to work on the farm).

They do not seem to be particularly bothered by being delegated a myriad of farm tasks.
In fact, I think they kind of like it. |
Amazingly, between the six of us, we managed to plant all of our hardened off seedlings as well as do some transplanting and direct sowing.
There was lots of teamwork involved and everyone did their part.

A Seamus and Uncle Jeff collaboration.
Seamus: "I do it!"
Luckily Jeff is overflowing with patience. |
 |
| Auntie Charissa and Liam are transplanting pros and extremely good cooperators. |
 |
| Seamus going rogue: "What should I plant next?" |

THIS!
Getting down and dirty.
We would not have it any other way. |
 |
| Weed, water, supervise? |
Such a productive day. As an added bonus, the rain started at noon and will continue all night giving our plants the thorough soak they need to get established in their new homes.
