It's been quite a lull.

 Four days straight of overcast, clouds, rain, wind and cold. A few days on either end of those was just overcast and cold so technically, it's been a week of winter weather. No pictures to show for it because...I never got out without being on the way somewhere. 

The sky yesterday was amazing! Cotton puffy clouds with blue skies, barely a wind and sunshine that only warmed things up to about the low 70's. We have warm sunny weather now to dry out the soil and bring on the weeds. Or seedlings. Off in the distance one of the hills that is in view from my desk chair is now covered in green. What isn't rock and vertical surface is now sprouting 'native' plants like mustard and other things.

The cilantro is coming up wherever the seeds ended up except where I put them. The onions are doing good, I had to move the mesh away from them because they were getting too tall. Time change happened and I've been lagging a lot. Got out yesterday evening and took pictures of what was going on 'out in the wild'.

Meanwhile, I planted mixed lettuce and romaine in the large container four or five days ago and then realizing rain was coming I put another clear plastic container on top making for a nice little greenhouse environment. Tadaaa! They're sprouting! And the second round of Jalapeño seeds are starting to sprout too. That one little looped seedling is moving fast! That picture was taken this morning and it's doubled in size by after noon! Will see if any more decide to sprout as well. I only need about three plants. I messaged my daughter to ask if she had a place to plant the two sweet peas and am waiting on a reply. The tomatoes take precedence over flowers at this point.

I was able to get to Harbor Freight and buy a small tarp to organize this messy corner. Going to check the weather and if it's still going to be sunny and mostly warm tomorrow I'll see what I feel like doing. I know both those buckets have water in the bottom for sure, especially the hose bucket and have to remember to bring something with me for the trash.

 

No chance of getting more soil until next month but that's still okay because the plants aren't ready yet and neither is the weather. The in ground soil that I got before is back to normal price, so will be getting the larger bag of Kellog's hopefully. Need to ask someone to borrow a wagon. Or see if Harbor Freight has one we can afford.
