G’morning, Diana:
Our pepper plants are sporting thumb-sized peppers where a week ago, only blossoms existed.
More good news: Mother wood duck still looking after five baby duckies from the seven that hatched a week or ten days ago. Damned turtles are waking up...
All else is well at the big lake.
The IRISES have bloomed...and they are SPECTACULAR!
Garlic is up - waiting on scapes, rhubarb is just coming back up, strawberries are maybe a week away and raspberries a month.
And two of our three hens are broodie - that's a pain.
Lots of maters coming in. Finally have blooms on peas and puny pepper plants.
Well I pretty much wiped out my fine seedlings. Such a good start.
sigh
A couple still growing - Might, MIGHT have some sweet pepper seedlings last - they haven’t grown in awhile but still green and healthy-looking.
So it’s a WalMart garden - 7 potted plants (still in original pots) - 4 tomato, maybe 5, 3 different kinds of tomato among those, a green bell and a red bell.
2 WM sweet basil (potted in another pot) and a rosemary (1 potted same way).
Other than 10 WM plants - 10 green onions going - looking good (THANKS to whoever told me to do that - saved two 50 cent green onion bunches, even in the fridge - planted 5 x 2. About 1/2” long or so. Now the tops are 3”-4” in just a few weeks. I’ll have lots of scallions, it seems.
PLUS the $3 WM red onion bulbs - about 27 planted and hope to start 8-10 tomorrow maybe Tuesday. The 27 have already started good, only been in the soil less than 2 weeks - already sprouting 3” or better. So I’ve still got a lot of bulbs left. We’ll see how many others I can get started. There should still be 70+ in the bag (you get 100 for $3). Some are too small won’t work but most of them are good.
I was doing so well on my seedlings and then..........oops.
No volunteer tomato plants this year.
Breen getting them for 3 years from a friend I gave plants to. But not this year.
Sad, I thought they were suited for this area.
And they were delicious!
Oh well, have some heirloom seeds seedling to share with my friends, will see what they do.
