Very warm then it cools down

 (This post was started on March 1 when it was in the low 90's) Breezy but it's a warm breeze that doesn't bring any relief. Have not started the AC yet because it cools down sufficiently at night so interior of apartment is cool without extra help other than fans.  Did have to close the bedroom window because hooboy that air coming in was warm.

Mild breezy weather for the next few days (as of Mar 4).  Started out rather overcast this morning and had to put an extra blanket on my side of the bed last night.  

I think I have a lawn growing. I'm not going to bother scraping or hoeing it because in a matter of a few months it will be brown and dead. If it connects from the middle to the raised bed, then I may well do something. Right now it's good for having a lush oxygen producing ground cover. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Roses are blooming and have no idea what the names are. I want to say the pink and white is Paradise but am most likely wrong. Anyone's guess on the yellow is good, there's so many.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As for my garden, the cilantro continues to grow and I may well be pulling them out, I still have two bundles in the fridge. The carrots are still not quite there, waiting for the bases to gain a bit more girth and the tops to grow just a bit taller. I planted them somewhere around the beginning of January and it's 65-75 days to maturity. It's been about 60 some days, or less considering February is two days shorter. So will see what the one with the coloring at the base looks like in another week. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cauliflower is blooming! Two of them at least, the one in front is a bit younger/slower so nothing there yet. Now, have to see if the weather cooperates and they form a head bigger than a softball. This variety is supposed to do well in higher temperatures so wills ee what happens. It's still getting chewed but not worried about it. Kind of surprised me but then I haven't been out there diligently checking on anything for a couple of days. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Two different days and times, late afternoon three days ago and about noon today. Tomato is about eight inches tall now, still looking a bit spindly and not really surprising since I haven't fertilized since December or before. The seedlings in the peat pots, well it'll be a while before they're big enough to plant out. Still looking a bit weak and really need to get them more sun. I would have to set an alarm to go out and cover them or something. Still too small to be in full full sun and be planted out. Don't have anything like shade cloth or even cheese cloth to cover them. The plastic containers I have would bake them and possibly shrivel in high heat... will figure out something.

I soaked then then separated two rose hips from the small pink flower bush again. Not sure how viable they are and have to put them in a completely separate container because the veggies have all been jumbled up I don't want to take a chance. I have them in a small tupperware type container that I had three peat pods in before, just hanging out in the warm window today.

Breezy and mild, perfect gardening weather.
