i still have a garden
and pictures to prove it!
the runner beans are flowering:
something munched down the peas and sunflowers, though, so i planted new seed today.
i have tomatoes!
this is the better bush, which is not much taller than you can see in the picture - so i'm impressed. i still have about 3 healthy cherry tomato plants in the strawberry pot, but they aren't flowering yet.
starting from seed is always entertaining. i planted both sides of this pot the same day:
as you can see - slight difference in how well they sprouted. i planted some new lettuce seeds today too - we will see if those do any better. the okra has all disappeared - so put in new seeds there, too. and i found some watermelon radish seeds, so added those to the radish pot. now if i can just discourage whatever keeps eating things. home depot had praying mantis eggs last year, but i haven't seen any this year. i think it's bugs that are eating things - don't know if the mantises would keep them in control, but they would be entertaining.
this pic is a little older, but i wanted to post it. this is one of the begonias i got a while back - it's called kit kat, i think - but i was entertained to see that the spots on the leaves extended to stems, as well.
