We were away for five days, and during that time, the Thai basil went to seed. I had no idea it had such pretty flowers. I’ll continue to buy this for the ornamental properties! Look how pretty it is next to the marigolds: The veggies are doing well. The Swiss chard is looking amazingly lush, […]
Today’s haul was: scallions, broccoli, potatoes, lettuce, cilantro, cucumbers, Romano beans and green beans. In other news, I got my first tomato!! And it was delicious. Everything else is still firmly green, so I have no idea when I’ll get the next.
Actual pictorial proof – green tomatoes, and decent size peppers! And cilantro gone to seed is fairly cool looking too, though not as nice as dill.
It’s been hot. Disgustingly, nastily hot.

I also got a few more radishes out of the garden. There are couple left in the pot, with lovely greenery, but next to
Today was the first pick up of this year’s CSA. They’ve had a bit of a slow start due to all the rain, so everything this week was either a storage vegetable, or from the greenhouse. I got: 3 pounds of potatoes, half a pound of baby harukai turnips, a head of lettuce, and half
I’m really not sure where the weekend went, gardening-wise. I did manage to get everything potted up (four bags of potting soil later – I usually do one and half a year…) Here’s my biggest experiment: From left to right are the tomato, pepper, and Swiss chard. Since the Swiss chard was a whim, I’ll
