MAN. i can grow things. who knew this? certainly not me. i've added basil to my hanging planter, started arugula and spinach [for the second time, thanks kansas wind], zinnia's [for my mom], mixed greens and green beans [which are to be transplanted into the actual ground. yayfreshgreenbeans!]
my little tomato plant. i speak kindness and joy to it daily. and strawberries! not big, but hopefully tasty. and my basil plant. it's a little cranky right now, but is still growing. just to spite me. :)
update on the plant hanger. it's still working okay...my green bell peppers are growing, but all the leaves look gnarly. but it's growing. i may switch out some of the soil and see if that helps.
black seeded simpson explosion! to the point where i've already transplanted them into bigger peat pots. the smaller pots are my restart of spinach and arugula. it's been crazy cool weather here in kansas, so this stuff is growing like mad.
lemon balm...and the no-longer-living aloe vera plants. sad story, i've had these plants since high school and have transplanted them several times. they've come with me to college (back and forth, back and forth), post-college and kansas city...and now, the suburbs killed them. bastard suburbs. or maybe it was because i can no longer grow plants that require hardly any care at all. the lemon balm is already acting like it wants a bigger pot, which is fine by me. yay! the first picture is the day i purchased it, the second is from a week later - explodoplant.
the left three are zinnias for my mom, the next three are mixed greens and the five on the right are greeeeeeeeeeeeen beans.
aaaaaaaaand, part of my mother's day gift to my mom. petunias and some kind of vine. i hate petunias. i know it was her gift, but the compromise i made was that she couldn't get any more pink ones that she already had. so they're [mostly] purple.
i've managed to not scorch my little plants in the wicked kansas sun so far. truly, the weather has been a little ridiculous here and i'm lucky that the tornado-like conditions haven't eaten everything i've grown so far. but it's all thriving for now.
