Things are growing, watering was done yesterday and was almost a bit late at that. Soil was very dry and the peppers were looking particularly weak.
The Easter Lilies are blooming like they should, smiling happy flowers for sure. There are other bulbs that aren't faring so well, mostly narcissus that have been ignored and are in too much shade so they only grow leaves all the time. I need to ask if I can dig some up this fall and replant them maybe in a pot.
Found two tomatoes yesterday and one of them at least tasted fantastic! I am not putting them in the fridge, keeping them on the counter in the same bowl as some apples. The cucumbers are finally taking off, two tendrils on the taller plant so as soon as that gets the signal for climbing it'll go a lot faster. Got out today really quick while I had Rocky out but didn't see any more telltale red orbs on the plant.
So many fruit on both plants! I was trying to tuck some of the branches back and snapped off the leader of one, oops. I took a chance and tucked it into the soil then watered but it didn't survive the night, oh well. Not sure what variety these are but will be saving seeds from one of the fruit for sure for next year.
Little miss survivor Zinnia is growing strong, hoping she gets as big as her previous generation because that would fill in that bed very well. I pulled the one, tiny little sprout in the corner that was not doing well at all. That center spot seems to be the best area for growing. The garlic on the West end tend to dry out more than the other side. Side note: Rocky spied a lizard that darted from the south bed to the jade but he gave up trying to find it.
Before watering... just all the plants doing what they can with the care I'm giving them. Happy enough for me at least. Might give them another dose of food tomorrow... if not it won't happen until Thursday or Friday.
