Good morning! I know I haven't been here in a while, but that's because nothing major has been going on. Well, that changed a couple days ago when my zucchinis started blooming! Yay!
They're going crazy! Which gives me a decided happy. Way to go, Zukes!
In other plant news, the tomatoes are doing well. Still no blooms on anything but the one I bought and those flowers are gone now. Hopefully, I'll see tiny fruits start there soon.
The carrots are okay. One of the planters where I never separated the seedlings has halfway died. The others are doing fine. All the containers planted with single seeds are doing well.
The lettuces are being eaten a few leaves at a time, mostly on burgers and sandwiches, but are a disappointment. The lettuce itself is nearly flavorless and easily bruised. And it wilts quickly. I won't be doing this species again. Next year, I'll move to spinach.
In onion news, I am starting to see green on a few members of the set. Fingers crossed for onions I can actually harvest down the road.
All in all, the container gardening experiment is working. It's a bit of a pain, but then again, all gardening is. At least I don't have to worry about critters eating my plants. The true test will be how much I harvest and whether it was worth it overall. Time will tell.
Look at you, Miz Greenjeans!
