And of course.... seeds sprout

 Another hot one today, but will be hotter later in the week. Breezy but it's a warm wind and obviously feels better in the shade.

Almost ready to pick, probably will cut it off tomorrow given how fast it's going. I was looking to see if I had indeed put some squash seeds in the corner here and I think I did when I tried to plant peppers along that side of the bed. I also found pictures of the failed cucumber that was in the middle, sadness, might try cucumber on the trellis next time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Using the gallon jug of water to keep the bean seeds moist (hopefully). You can see how I cut down the oregano stems in the other bed, just tossed them on the compost buckets to dry out. Will thin out that patch a bit more later on, it was being ravaged by chewers of some sort making holes and only close to the ground so nothing flying.

And of course, the squash seed came up with the two tomatoes. Prolific little bugger, wish the zucchini was as prolific and easy to grow. Going to have to just yank/cut off that one because I'd rather have the tomatoes than the squash.

The peppers are flowering well and setting fruit. Plants are still small for what they're growing but at least they're growing. Might have to start them sooner in seedling pots and just keep them going until they're bigger to plant out. Need to fertilize them right now though. Might do that tonight.

Remember that little guy under the tomato? Well when I was walking around the block yesterday I spied familiar purple flowers on a vine covering a fence about four houses down and across the street. Morning Glory. That seedling leaves match a google search for that plant. What the other two plants are is still a mystery but I am leaning toward native/weed that I've seen along roadsides as well.

The coriander that fell into Layla's planter is now all brown and setting seed...since she's not going to be using it I stripped some of the seeds off and sprinkled them in the two ground beds. Not that I don't have seeds but hate to see a plant go to waste like that. She watered just before I went out last night and because she's only using the shortened hose she just sprays however she can. 

Daydreaming about having an extra chunk of money in the month and what I could do with it to make the garden better. Meanwhile, back in reality.....

I want to leave my hose out but it won't be treated with care it needs.The grey hose that was originally bought is only $17 for a 50 foot a 25 foot from another company is two dollars more. Choices choices. Will make that decision next month, all my money is used up for this month.
