As I've got a nice outdoor space outside my door, I've started a mini container garden. Here are my efforts so far, all with a start date of 4 June 2011:
Lettuce from seed - 7 June 2011

My tomato plant has 2 visible tomatoes so far, and I believe at least one more will make an appearance tomorrow!

The mint is from my Aunt Kathy - she dug it up from her home in Oklahoma, put it in a pot and then in a couple plastic bags, and we carried it with us!
Chrysanthemum - 13 June 2011
This chrysanthemum was here on the porch when I moved in, all dried up and dead looking. My dad chopped off nearly all the old plant and told me to water it. 9 days later - the new growth is 2" tall!
It's stayed hot and fairly humid here, although I'm told the humidity really hasn't started yet. Oh dear...
I had my first day of classes today, it was long but not bad. Thankfully, the classrooms weren't quite as cold as I expected, but the lab is FREEZING!
Congrats on starting school!
ReplyDeleteYep, enjoy your long, hot growing season. May it all grow like kudzu. Ok, not quite that much.
