Plants and more Plants

The garden grew -- phew. The only thing I lost was a pot of mint because it got flooded with too much rain and watering (I left it in a bad spot). I'm replacing them this week because I like mint in the summer for drinks.

Basil from seed (grow room)
cilantro from seeds.

Peas and carrots from seed.

My peppers and one from the farm

Cucumbers and onions

Cabbages, tomatoes and greens

Filling out


I picked the greens this morning to bring a Cobb salad to the kids for dinner (I'm babysitting my grandson for the afternoon -- very excited) and sharing the garden is one of my ongoing goals. Although I was temped to keep them for myself -- fresh and crunchy.


It's a lot more than it looks.


My indoor plants survived too. Makes a difference to move them away from the strongest sunlight -- slows their water needs up enough to survive such a long stretch. I ended up rearranging some plants and got two new ones because (like books) I have a problem.


I'll replant soon. It needs time to adjust.

I liked the color of the leaves.

One my my favorite spots in the house


I'm staking the tomato plants -- they grew more than I expected. Time to help them out. I got the wooden stakes yesterday (hence some new plants). I need to watch my back today because I'm babysitting so it has to wait until tomorrow.

Hope you're having a good week. Later gators.
