Because they hug the ground they are ready to go just as soon as things start to warm. |
These are then stood on end, slit end down, in the pot, which has a 2" high retention tray on the bottom, |
then the potting mix is added. |
Grow boxes with their built in bottom-watering reservoirs |
A left over hanging basket seemed like a good place for the catnip plant. Hanging inside the greenhouse it should be safe from molestation while it grows to harvesting size. |
The 4th batch of spinach on the left which was direct sown once things warmed up a little (The other three got eaten by something before I could get them transplanted.) and a lettuce on the right. |
Swiss Chard on the left, a different lettuce on the right. |
The first and second batches of carrots with room for one more batch in the center |
The onions have really shot up in the last week |
These pathetic looking things are my latest try at getting the heat tolerant Flordade tomatoes to grow. If they ever take off one of these will have to go to make room the for the other |
This is one of the Cherokee Purples and these things are going gang-busters! |
The Dianthus survived the winter well and is blooming strongly |
The tips of one of the cactus have been burned by frost and the whole plant needs some attention as it has grown to the point where much of it is laying down because of the weight. |
The roses are looking a bit leggy and sparse They have been top dressed with compost and a touch of organic fertilizer. Now we just have to wait and see. |
We've had this small ceramic planter for a couple decades now. This year it will host a white flowered Sutera Cordata, which should be a perennial in our zone if protected from frost. |
