Flower Box by Jason Sandeman
How my garden grows! Well, the wife’s section, anyway! She does not seem to have to try! You should see her Echinacha! It is growing like a weed. So much so, I threatened to pull it out.
The tomatoes are doing well in the cages. I pulled off all the suckers, and tied them to the trellis. There are small little tomatoes forming up on the vines. It is exciting to see the fruits of my labour budding up there.
Strawberries: I took down the hanging basket, after I almost lost all of the plant to the heat. I made a mound of compost, and set it inside. Time will see if the plant provides me any fruit. The small plant that I planted is doing well. I never knew that strawberries had suck nice flowers.
Peppers: There are 4 little tiny peppers growing on the plant now. How exciting!
Cucumbers: Have yet to come up with anything. I think that I need to water them a little better.
Beans: This is probaby the most dissapointing part here. I am not seeing anything yet, aside from a few sprouts. I have been busy, so maybe they dried out. I may have some time to look at replanting into a SWC.
Thyme: Well, it is growing like, a weed. I never have a problem growing that one. I will dry the leaves this year for sure though.
I think that next year I will be planting some more things in a SWC. I was thinking of the peppers, cucumbers and such. I suck at watering, so they would benefit from a SWC. (That is, if the tomatoes are any indication.)
So, here I will leave you with a nice picture of the strawberry bloom. Hopefully I will have a lot of these later on!
Oh how pretty the Strawberry Bloom
