As you may recall, (or see post dated 2/20/09) I had planted some itty bitty ground cherry seeds. 5 of the 6 plants germinated. So, I wanted to show you a picture of how they look today.
I am going to plant them in the garden this weekend. I hope, I hope, I hope they do well because I understand the jam that can be made from these little babies is awesome.
I also wanted to show you a picture of my English pea plants.
Did you see the little blooms? Can’t wait for the pods to form.
Ok, full disclosure. My tomato plants AND most of the pepper plants are too leggy. Problem #1; I had too many plants for my light source (due to problem #2). Problem #2; I was unable to put my plants outside, to “strengthen” in their pots prior to planting, as our weather turned extremely windy and too cold. (We even had a threat of frost.) Now, the tomato plants I’m not too concerned about because you can plant the “leggy” part of the plant into the soil and it will root and actually make your plant stronger. (and no one will be the wiser, hehe) But, some of the pepper plants may not make it so I may be buying transplants. Rats.
But, here is one pepper plant that is looking good.
Another update: I fertilized my garlic which I planted last fall. This will be ready for harvest this summer. Yum.
And, as I was getting ready to cut back my salad burnet, I found that it is getting ready to bloom! So I am going to let it bloom to see what the flower looks like.
I was lamenting the other day about whether Spring was EVER going to get here. Well, I think it has arrived.
How’s your Spring going?
