Continuing in my raised beds, here is what I planted this afternoon:
It is difficult to see (perhaps impossible), but in this one, there are three of the Strawberry plants (perrenial) down the center, each one adjacent to a watering fountain. If you click on the image and zoom in, you may see them. On the left side is alternating pansy (annual) and violet (annual). At the top are all pansies.
In the left bed I put hostas (perrenial) down the center, and alternating pansy and violet around them.
In the right bed I planted the carrot seeds in one row along the closest short edge, and in the center planted alternating pansies and violets making sure to leave room along the edges for where I planted the lettuce and spinach.
Here is a close-up of one of the hostas with the watering fountain behind it.
I started watering them immediately after having planted everything so that they can get a good start. I'll be watering them all regularly over the next week or so to be sure they root well. If we had rain, that would be helpful, but there hasn't been any rain in five days and there is none in the forecast.

Looking at the possibility of rain this weekend. The tomatoes seem to have survived the cold nights.
I'm glad they did, and lucky for you about the rain, though having it rain on weekends is not as appealing as having it rain on weekdays.
I look forward to seeing them when they're all grown up!
I hope to do some gardening on our rooftop patio when we move into the new townhouse in July. But I don't know anything about gardening.
mesh, there isn't a lot to it, just be sure to water it regularly.
I will take your word for it and try!
