plant status updates

  • I've moved the rest of the herbs outside so they can get more sun. They were doing fine, but I think this is better.

  • I can't find the frigging strawberry seeds!

  • We are now at TWO tiny tomatos on the green zebra. There are several other flower buds, at least one of which seems like it clearly won't turn into a tomato. The others are small and have not opened yet.

  • I will clearly need to add more soil to the recently repotted acquisitions from yesterday as that all settles and gets watered and all. I also need sticks to keep the two need tomato plants upright. They are younger than the zeba, and I don't expect tomatos on them until July at the earliest.

  • The pepper plant already seems to have some buds well hidden in the leaves. Will the bees find it?

  • The basil has had no disasters so far, although something came and ate half a leaf.

  • Should I plant some flowers to summon bees?

  • What other food-stuff is well suited to container gardening on a fire escape?

  • It was originally supposed to rain today. I am so glad it did not.

  • I am really, really into this.

    On a related note, most Starbucks will give away their used coffee grounds for gardening purposes.
