bluesgardenThings are, slowly but surely, turning green in the garden! I had a random assortment of pics from the past week, but things had changed enough that I had to run outside and take new ones. Of course, I decided to do this at mid-day, with the sun glaring mercilessly overhead and everything looking a bit wilted from the heat.
Jacob's Cattle beans, dusted with inoculant and ready to be planted.
This is actually one of the pics from late last week;
the dry beans planted that day started sprouting yesterday.
Chard! I need to start some more seeds in the garden proper.
Kale, cabbage, and Asian greens, all wilted from the intense heat this afternoon.
A firecracker sunflower has given up waiting to be transplanted. *sigh* I don't blame it.
The herb bed, with onions to the back. Thyme in front, sage and
Rosie basil next, then oregano followed by the rest of the basils.
The melon, watermelon, and cucumber area with makeshift trellises.
They're gonna have to grow eventually, right?
Flowers, we have. Growth, though, is still pretty slow.
This would be, ironically, a Fastbreak melon plant.
One of these days I will take a good picture of a tomato patch. Today is not that day.
The tomato plants themselves, however, are looking pretty spiffy. The mulch isn't serving
any actual purpose, by the way, other than possibly decorative or maybe insulating the soil.
There's black weed barrier down doing what the mulch did last year.
D put the mulch down and let's just leave it at that. *eyeroll*
The pepper patch - healthy, just very small.
In this case, also a little nibbled on? A Buran pepper, I think.
The potatoes have shown up! This is just part of the patch. They need hilled up,
but that would require me to go outside in the ridiculous heat and work in the full sun.
Noms in progress.
Some pup photos in the next post. :)
