And more sunny days so things can grow!

Mostly clear, breezy and a pale blue sky on the horizon. Perfect and beautiful spring weather! Windows and door are open to let the breeze through (until someone decided to take a nap and closed up the front of the apartment). 

Had to take a picture showing the new spring growth on the tree and realized the branch in the foreground was in an awkward position. Oh well. 

Can hardly see them but the lettuces are sprouting and they're even bigger now. The tiny little jalapeno that started two days ago, completely unfolded in the same day.

You can actually see the two sprouts now and they are getting plenty of light and sun now. The tomatoes are at least 6 inches tall and when they get planted out I'll plant them as deep as possible so the stems are covered.

I had more onion starts to plant so got out yesterday and pulled the six or seven onions that were big enough.

The mesh is keeping the critters out because the uncovered south bed...was menaced. Just a bunch of pocket holes dug so, considering I smelled skunk last night I bet that's who did it.

I watered everything just to keep the onions moist, saw a big grey/black lizard on the wood pile when I swung the hose around to spray down the wood. Also a tiny one about three inches long was out sunning on the sidewalk but skittered way to fast for me to get a picture.

 

How much that oregano has grown! Now, January this year and May of last year. I actually pinched off some stems but then left them on the window ledge and Mr. McFurrybutt sat on them and.... not as organic anymore so had to toss them. More is growing for sure. You can also see the cilantro in the recent photo that is growing inside the border and further back, just outside the border. Go figure. By the time the current crop of onions is ready I'll be able to plant the tomatoes and cucumber, maybe the lettuce. 

Yay for things growing! Wind is blowing, sun is shining!
