It's starting to warm up

 It got up to 96 today but not until afternoon, still a bit too toasty for this time of year. Which means I have to step up the watering schedule again. The raised bed heats up faster than the ground and gets more sun so it will need watering more often.

 Three-quarter moon yesterday afternoon, it was close to 5pm so moon had been up for a while and the sun was about to set in an hour. That's zoomed in 4x on my phone and of course still smaller than it looks to your eyes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another pair of carrots that should be thinned out but they're too close and in an awkward position to the front of the bed, will make a decision on pulling that back one tomorrow. I decided to dig up the purple potato and discovered, that was all there was. So technically there were three potatoes along with the other one I had almost cut in half and decided to throw out. Will have more patience with the other plants for sure.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Because that center one is huge so will have a staggered harvest, you can see all the empty space where the onions are missing, the Romaine is doing okay, that front one gets blasted by the sun this time of year and was seriously wilted. The one in the back gets shaded by the two potatoes, so pretty ideal for that. I have a huge open space in the front now but there's nothing to put in there yet. Oh yeah and I 'trimmed' back some more of the jade. Slowly breaking branches off and will do it around to the other side on the right just so it doesn't look tooo obvious.

The two tomato seedlings are very light green because essentially are growing in mostly shade. They're doing okay but I can't put them out in the garden without some protection and would have to check on them every day for watering. Will ask my partner if I can turn the stove hood light on and put them over there tonight.  It's going to be a very long while before the peppers start sprouting, they take so much longer than tomatoes. 10-20 days instead of the 7-10 days for tomatoes. With the warm weather here's hoping closer to ten days. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh yes and decided on a lark to plant 1 lone yellow squash seed. I know my luck with those have been less than productive because you need more than one plant in the same row for better pollination. Might plant more than one and then gut the west bed (other than the garlic). Well not exactly gut, I trimmed back some of the oregano and by the time the squash is ready to plant the carrots will be done. That's still too small a bed for a squash plant though. 

So many plants, so little space to grow them!
