I had yesterday and today off, so I got to do a little more work on my garden. Everything’s growing really well, except one green pepper plant that got too damaged in the wind. I picked up a three pack of replacement green peppers when I got more potting soil.The peas are flourishing! I had to move half of them to another container. I didn’t expect them to all grow so well.
I moved the lettuce from the egg cartons to little pots. I’m not sure how well they’re going to survive the trip. I only used half of my seeds to start with, so even if none of them make it, I can start over. I read that you can stagger your planting times with the lettuce so you have a continuous supply, so that’s my plan.
Next on the agenda is to build a trellis for my awesome pea plants. I didn’t really know about their need to climb, so hopefully it’s not too late. I read an article about building a trellis out of branches and string, so now I just need to hunt for some downed branches!
I’m continuously amazed at my little plants. I had very low expectations going into this little gardening adventure, but so far so good!
have you tried fennel? Its so easy to grow, nice feathery tall plants with great fragrance. You can make teriffie salads from the bulb, fresh orange slices & dill.Jjust mix some EVOO, sherry vinegar and a little orange juice for dressing.
Yum, yum!!!
