Progress

Most things are growing quickly. The tomatoes are doing much better this year. One of the most exciting developments is that the peas are blooming. Pretty little white flowers that look like bonnets. The passion vine had two flowers open so far. I took a picture of one, I'll post that in my next bought of picture posting. The chamomile looks close to blooming, I see quite a few little buds forming. The cilantro is about three inches tall now and so I planted the second wave of seeds. I also planted basil seeds in one of the old strawberry pots.

There have been some mishaps. The one "strawberry" seedling does not appear to be a strawberry at all, but a weed. Only time will tell. I'm going to plant oregano in the other strawberry pot, but I don't think I'll do it from seed. My sage is not really growing. It is very susceptible to stress. I tried one last ditch effort and pot coffee grounds in the pot. It has revived a little, but no sign of growth yet. I may just have to buy a sage plant. Kirke has done her part in wreaking havoc, she stepped on one of the mini yellow bell pepper plants. It seems to be doing alright, but looks to have been broken at its base. It is still connected to its roots, but it is really floppy. I mounded the soil around it and I'm hoping it will strengthen up again. It seems to be getting all its nutrients, it looks just as healthy as the others.

Pictures next time.
