Garden update, May 17th.












Well, it's official, all my plants from this year's garden are out of their seedling stage and into their permanent pots, so I thought I'd snap a few photos this weekend to show everyone how they're coming along. I don't actually have a lot to say, other than I'm pleased with how nice my trailing plants already look when hanging off the tops of my bookshelves; plus you'll undoubtedly notice some mildew on the dirt of some of these pots, which apparently came from adding too much water to the soil before transferring my seedlings, although the internet tells me this will eventually go away and that the mildew isn't actually hurting any of the plants. Other than that it's business as usual around here, so stay tuned in a few more weeks for yet another update!

Garden update, April 21st.



Thought I'd post a small update today about this year's indoor garden, so I could mention that all my trailing plants for my bookshelves are now big enough to transfer to their permanent pots. We'll call these images "before," so make sure to check back in August for the "after" images.


And there's not much else to report as of today, actually, besides that I recently put together my second round of seedings; on the right there are the basil, opal basil, dill and oregano that I planed on April 4th, while on the left are my brand-new plantings of thyme, rosemary, lavender and chamomile. As always, more updates as this spring and summer continue!
