The tomatoes are still in the starting blocks, but spring has been kind to some of the other plants! I took a bunch of picts on the 6th & am going through them. I'll put up some of the individual plants in this post, then get the rest of the garden-as-a-whole ones done and uploaded into another post.
Mostly the garden is doing well. I lost all the jicama plants shortly after transplanting so I've popped a couple seeds in the ground, hopefully they'll do something.
I put some generic seed raising mix into the ruined mushroom mix (from the first go, the stuff with the green mildew in it) and followed the directions as if it was fine. I've got it outside and I see more of the fluffy myceneum in the bottom growing mix. Maybe it will do something. If not, no big deal since it wasn't supposed to grow after I found out it had too much green mold from the mushroom company. I've innoculated the 2nd bag of grow mix with the new spawn they sent me for free.
I picked some lettuce (we have/had 2 plants) for dinner tonight, supplemented it with some of the spinach leaves.
Both peach plants are doing well, you'll see that momentarily. The nectarines are ok, but seem to have a disease or something (pict below). Some of the berries have flowers, I think the other 2 plants are late fruiters so they'll probably come through next month. The dwarf apple (Blush Babe) has a few flowers, but I don't expect much as this is the tree's first year. It's the dwarf peach & nectarine first year as well but they seem to have a lot of fruit despite that.
Most of the rose plants are doing well, not at the peak of flowering yet by a long shot but doing pretty well.
The potatoes are doing great. The leaves and stems are tall, lots of flowers on the urenika but something seems to be cutting/eating the flowers off the Red Rascals.
Onto the picts.
Scentasia Apricot (or Sunscent?):
Tequila Sunrise:
Double Delight, these have a great scent and last a very long time in the vase. They remind me of watercolours, each flower slightly different with the whites and reds looking like they are watercolour painted on:
Baby dwarf peaches:
Baby dwarf nectarines, with some sort of disease. Maybe a fungus??
Baby peaches, this is a dwarf tree too but not as dwarf as the others:
My columbines:
The Scarlet Runners, I learned that I can cut these back at the end of the season and they'll regrow. Cool.
More later, enjoy!
