These will be (hopefully) thinned out.  The ones that leave the pot are going to new homes.

More enjoying of the nice weather, this time sans Toph (the neighbor is on their porch and apparently she doesn't like them? Normally shes very friendly)

Oh oh I put too many seeds in one pot - maybe I’ll separate out the seedlings once they grow and transfer?
I need more pots…

This is a purple opal basil seedling. You can see a little of the purple already starting to develop in the center of the seed leaves. Can’t wait to see what the true leaves look like!

23:02 - they’ve been getting pretty big now!  The leaves also still feel quite tender and a bit waxy.  The small leaf fuchsia seedlings are lagging behind still, but nothing too alarming.
Meanwhile, the basil has been really popping off!  They grow so fast

November 2022: Rainy Monday
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sunday’s project was to yank out this knockout rose. This rose was at least 10 years old... sometimes gardening involves some hard & cruel decisions: 
Tumblr media
We replaced it with this chaste tree that came up from seed: 
Tumblr media
Today’s backyard garden. I was surprised to see a ripe tomato: 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I mentioned in a previous post about pulling some green seedlings from Plot 420 & bringing them home. These are them. The one in the middle had been seriously gnawed in by the local rabbits or rodents that run amok in the fields around Plot 420: 
Tumblr media
Random brassica growing in the bird bath we turned into our sedum planter: 
Tumblr media
With the rain today, the only bees out were honeybees. The native Bumbles, Carpenters & all the assorted tiny bees stick close to home when it rains even when it is just the on & off drizzle that we got today:

One of two curly leaf parsley plants that we grew from seed. This one is the most gorgeous. Look how tight those leaves are curled. You can’t buy that flavor in a store:

Spent yesterday potting up most of the seedlings to get them one plant per pot and in nutrient-rich potting soil:
Tumblr media
I may have an issue called "where tf am I going to plant all of these"?!?!?
These are tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, a few tomatillos, and some basil (purple and thai--the genovese will be direct-seeded).
Today I removed the cool season crops from the cold frame and modified it to hold all these transplants (seen in pic above except there's an old glass shower door that usually rests on top). I replanted the lettuce and kale that were growing WAY too thickly in different earthboxes, separating the plants. The kale took up an entire bed all by itself, which is a little silly since it's chicken food (I don't like kale no matter how trendy it got but the chickens freaking LOVE it). I also got the seedlings for Swiss chard, bok choy, and Chinese cabbage transplanted into earth boxes from their six-packs (they had been in the cold frame too). Now I just have to get the brassicas covered up before the cabbage moths find them.
And looked here:
I temporarily repurposed my cucumber-growing apparatus for sugar snap, snow, and tendril peas and they're doing great!
Tumblr media
And, once I fashioned a collar out of hardware cloth to keep the wildlife from constantly burying the fava seedlings in mulch, they've finally started to grow! Still only had 50% germination, which is terrible for fresh seed. I have enough seed left for next year so we'll see how things turn out this year to determine if it's worth growing again.

Window box full of French marigold seedlings seed-saved last year. Have them growing on the porch until they fill out, but their ultimate destination is in front of my shed's window. Have to do it this way or the squirrels/rats dig their way through it and kill everything.
Tumblr media
And finally an updated pic of the new bed I put in last fall. Three out of four spearmint plants (front) survived the winter, all but one of the ever bearing strawberries, and I think all of the bronze fennel. The fennel is mostly for the beneficials as well as the swallowtail larvae (who were NOT allowed to eat all my parsley, dill, and bulbing fennel last year--they can be satisfied with this).

FIRST CUCUMBER SEED IS STARTING :D AAA SO EXCITED TO SEE THEM GROW
Also mint updates!!! Star has been moved into her own pot since she's significantly bigger than the others. Fanta seems very weak and keeps drooping when I mist them, but aside from that there's a new baby coming up :D not sure what to call them yet
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Other than those, I'm pretty sure my basil had bugs eating at them so I used a homemade insect killer to try and deal with it, they seem to be doing okay now but I will keep a very close eye on them as they grow :]
Tumblr media
(basil history for me to keep track bcus memory bad, were growing well for like a month, then one day started dying, waited like a week since I didn't know what to do, then planted new seeds, couple days later saw something moving around in the soil and watered all the soil with part water, part dawn dish soap, part veg oil insect killer as google instructed, been watering as needed and looking out for bugs since then)
I have quite a few other plants I should introduce but I don't have photos of them all yet, I have a purple passion velvet plant, a string of hearts, a small spider plant (that I need advice for and will likely show soon unless things get better!!), air plants, fairy washboard, and I'm propagating some succulent leaves I bought :3 + some seeds that haven't popped up yet
Okay that's all for now byee!!!!

🪴Baby's First Garden🌻
Tumblr media
The plastic keeps in the moisture.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So I've decided to take up gardening. By gardening, I mean investing too much of my fragile grasp on life into some seeds and dirt in hopes that them living will give me something to live for.
I've planted Chives, Basil, and Parsley. My thinking is these are so simple to grow that I can't possibly fuck it up. Well. . . I must be that one dummy.
So I did what youtube gardeners said, and it was kind of working. Then I took the plants outside when I thought the sun was out to warm them, and my white chive buds turned brown (it was still cold outside). I brought them inside, thinking I'd killed them. Then I saw a flower. But it turned black. But then more brown buds poked through, and then I saw some green too. That's how chives are going.
The Basil and Parsley, planted together. The basil final started showing some green. The parsley, however, nothing. I'm hoping it'll grow, too.
The day before the basil started showing, I did smaller redos of basil and chives, just to see if I had fucked up so badly the first time. I guess I didn't need to do that. But hey the more the merrier. I should've done the parsley, but the seeds need to soak overnight and I was too eager.
Feeling confident, I went back to Target today and happened upon cute little seedling kits for 1 dollar each. Sunflower and Lavender (Daisy, I didn't buy). Hopefully, those grow. I have to buy a bigger pot for these, but I've a few weeks wait. I'm going to get some more so my niece and I can grow them together.
Wish me luck because if these don't grow, I've got nothing.
