Potting soil, rustic monuments, and the moors of Scotland

I noticed today that our garden and yard is looking much better this year than in the past at this time of year. Our daily garden work is paying off! We were asked recently if we would be the main tour garden for a local garden tour in May, but we begged off until next year. Hopefully we will be caught up with our garden projects by then.
Today, Illijana erected concrete block sentinels by our western gate. They look like primitive guardians. We decided to plant something that would drape over them and that would look good with the rose covering the archway. I picked out two heathers today at Miller Farms Nursery. We have 4 or 5 heathers in our back yard and they do well there. The spot by the sentinels is a tougher growing spot, windier, and with less direct sun. I hope they make it there. We are hoping that plants that exist on Scottish moors can survive the wind and salty sea air.

I also purchased more potting soil today. We used to use PowerFlower from McClellan Mountain Ranch, a Humboldt county manufacturer, but it seems that they are no longer in business. So after trying a number of different types of potting soil I've settled on Happy Frog from FoxFarm. I've taken to adding a touch of Gardner and Bloom organic fertilizer to the mix and using it for starts.
I planted four tomato plants today in our hothouse in the ground (thanks to David for the donation of the plants). I planted them a bit close together and think it will lead to jungle gardening, but we have quite a few more to plant in the next month.
Another little project today was covering the recently planted peas with woven fiber to keep the birds from eating the seeds and young plants.
More Moss terrace concrete block work tomorrow.
