I just noticed it today. I'm surprised it's as big as it is. We only potted the tomato plant 2 weeks ago. I didn't think we'd see something this soon. I'm just happy everything is still alive!
Me and the niece had a great time playing in the dirt/planting all our plants. I try every year to grow something, but this is first year I have actual sun on the porch, not complete shade.
This was the first day we planted stuff. I got a mix of plants, bulbs and seeds.
These are all the plants on the sunny side of the patio. The shady plants are still marinating in the dirt and haven't popped up yet. When they do, I'll post an update.
This is the close-up of my pot of lettuce. We planted /threw the packet of seeds on the dirt and they sprouted in 3 days. This is Mescluin, a mix of red and green leafy lettuce and arugula. Right now, they're a little to close together. The packet says to thin them out. I ate a couple of the leave already. They taste like spicy alfalfa sprouts!
This is one of those "as seen on TV" flower seeds in a box that I got from Big Lots. I'm surprised it grew! It's supposed to be 30 different types of flowers that flower/bloom all season long. We ran out of pots so this blue thing is a plastic tub with handles, that normally holds ice and drinks. I think it'll be pretty once the flowers bloom. It's the right size to sit on the table as a centerpiece.
So, here's the full shot. From left to right, it's catnip, sugar snap peas (with the bamboo sticks), tomato in the corner with marigolds, green onions and marigolds, a green pepper plant with strawberry plants, a pink carnation looking plant with purple pansies, Jasmine and pansies, lavender, peony with pansies, lettuce, tomato with strawberries, and last, in the red pot, a blackberry bush!
In the shade we have fern, astible, and hosta.
I'm excited to have my first tomato and lettuce from my patio garden in a couple weeks! Now to keep everything alive!
Hugs!
