Over the last few days, although I haven’t posted, I’ve gotten a good bit done.
I got the sage and more of the tomato seedlings planted, as well as the marjoram and some of the chamomile. I also gave the Tree tomatoes their first big pruning (the Bonnie Grape and Better Boy, anyway, the Romas are determinate) once I was satisfied they’d settled after transplanting. Two of the suckers from the Bonnie Grape were so large that I hated just tossing them aside, so I stuck them in water to see if they would root — and boy oh boy have they! Less than four days in now, and their roots are nearing an inch long already.
I’ve also been harvesting away from the AeroGarden. Another batch of basil and lemon basil dried, as well as mint, dill and globe basil. In addition, I’ve used each of those (except the mint) fresh in meals, as well as parsley from both the window garden and the outside planters. There is something incredibly satisfying and almost magical about going outside to pick the herbs for that night’s dinner!
So, now, for the promised pictures! As always, click on the thumbnails to see the full sized picture and a more detailed description.
