Not only sick but ended up in the hospital overnight and then my phone finally seized up and died. So now I am feeling much better, have new phone so was able to get out to the garden and get pictures and water and all that.
Despite new hand technology, blogger is still being stupid. But new phone has much better camera so much better pictures. The jade is blooming, though not as profusely as I had thought and the skies are not quite that blue, a bit over enthusiastic camera on my phone.
Hard to tell due to angle but those onions are very tall and so is the cilantro. The carrots are doing okay and the four garlic I planted have sprouted!
The potatoes have not broken the surface and when I watered it filled in the holes more, oh well. The tomato is looking rather weak but I suspect that is due to lack of water the past week. The onions in the raised bed are still far from being usable, but that's okay I have TONS of them from the other bed.
As I said, the cilantro is thriving. I only cut about half of it and have no idea what to do with it. I was going to use scissors but then realized the undergrowth would be cut too so I just started pulling sharply and they broke off easily. I pulled all the onions in the west bed rather than cutting the tops. I ended up chopping all but maybe three and put it in a baggie in the freezer. The cilantro I just put in a baggie in the fridge. Will see if I can figure out how to dry it in the oven or microwave.
I had to mark the approximate locations of the garlic coming up, they're about two inches tall right now so here's hoping they will be ready to harvest by summer and have good size and flavorful heads.
But it's been sunny and warm, which is what the garden needed after a cold two weeks. Spring is here for sure.
