I’ve been enjoying the heck out of my two deck boxes. Every new leaf cheers me to no end. Every brown one crushes me. I don’t have children or cats so this garden has become my kids.
- Strawberry update – the Ozark Beauty strawberries are a bit wilty in this heat. I’ll watch them. The other ones are perky and great – but still not a flower on the bunch.
- Chives – I have LOTS. I guess planting the whole package was a bit much.
- Rosemary – she’s hanging in there – now that the sun is joining us I’m hopeful that she’ll dry out a bit and grow. We’ll see.
- NEW - I got a mint plant (based on Crazy Aunt Purl’s suggestion – I now love Mint Water).
- NEW – I’m growing my own Onions. They’re so EASY to grow. I never knew (and don’t think I’ll ever buy onions again!). I planted the root of some grocery store green onions and voila! new green onions are growing in the pot. So cool.
- Cucumber – the thing is dying. Don’t think it likes the bright white of the deck. My poor baby cukes are shrivelling. =(
That’s all for today. Photos to come. I promise.
Cara: I’m enjoying your blog, but this post had me concerned. Don’t get too attached to the poor dears, since being annuals they have expiry dates (although they could live on in the form of seeds if you’re up for harvesting them – Jo would recommend this)…we wouldn’t want to see you in a black funk come the winter! What would be a suitable substitute for that time of year, or will you be too busy completing your Christmas projects to worry? =:D
