Tad bit warm outside so not much activity

 Just going out every day to check on things, make sure nothing's been invaded, we've got a bit of haze from the wildfires locally but the breeze is delightful and blowing in the other direction.

 

 

 

Just after I took the picture of the oregano flower stalk, I shifted my fingers and it snapped off that entire section of flowers. No big deal there's several other stems flowering but it is definitely Greek Oregano. And what I thought was butternut.. nope, my own seeds from the yellow squash. That's the flower I pollinated and there's one just behind it that's kind of bent. 

 

So it's from my compost not Dolores and I almost killed the little one on the right when I fumbled my phone. Broke of one of the larger seed leaves but it'll survive. Kind of happy now that I know it's not going to be the humungus butternut that I wouldn't know what to do with the fruit. 

 

The peppers are filling out along the stems but they are still way behind where they should be for growth. I was scrolling through some of the older pictures and discovered the only time I successfully grew a pepper was when I bought a plant. Not expecting anything from the tomatillo and surprised it's staying that short compared to the other ones that were five feet tall. Still nothing from the seeds planted four days ago, impatient much? And now that I realize I already have squash growing, the two I planted in the pot with the tomatoes.. don't need them. Do need to get some zucchini growing. My ambitions exceed my growing space.

I took a picture of this bed about four years ago, I had noted at the time that the mint I saw growing would take over. Guess what... it did. All the green blanket along the ground is mint. Lord knows what else is in there but the plumeria is still leaning way out to get as much sun as possible poor thing.

I'm hoping I can plant some actual bulb onions in the fall along with some potatoes. The two crops that I use the most and don't have the room or patience to grow them. Speaking of onions, I have one lone green onion that is growing from seed in front of the oregano. Still not even close to being ready to pull and is a testament to how long it takes just those onions to grow, let alone the bulb type.

 

Will go out hopefully later in the day/evening to see if I want to water.
