Whew! It's been raining for nearly a week. I don't know how much rain has fallen because I don't have a rain gauge. (Maybe I should get one.) The rain has been good for my plants and the weeds, both. My poor garden is so weedy that I'm embarrassed to take pictures of it. *sheepish*
The bamboo continues to run rampant. I've been kicking shoots down as I cross their path out in the yard. They seem to grow in a straight line, presumably following a segment of root under the ground. I guess if we were super industrious, we'd use the shoots to pinpoint the root's location and dig it up. With everything else that needs to be done, I don't really see that happening.
I lost one tomato seedling. Luckily, I have a few others that are candidates for replacing it. I actually have more leftover tomato seedlings than I have space to plant them in the garden. I would ordinarily give them away, but since the seedlings have some sort of issue that may be contagious, I think I'll just hang on to these and plant them ... somewhere. I'm on the lookout for large cheap pots now. Maybe I'll buy one of those upside-down tomato growing bag things. I haven't decided yet.
That one tomato seedling is the only seedling that I've lost so far. *knocks on wood* My poor tomatoes still look scrawny and sickly compared to other tomato plants I've seen around. *sigh* I hope they catch up!
Today I noticed that three of my beans have finally sprouted. I was starting to wonder if I'd planted them incorrectly. I'm not sure which of the three types of beans the sprouts are. I'll have to dig out my planting diagram and compare it to the sprouts. I'm excited about the beans, yay!
I still have some sprouts indoors that desperately need to be transplanted: chamomile, balloonflower, and tulsi. Hopefully I won't accidentally nuke these in the sunlight like I did with the other non-pepper or tomato seedlings.
Oh, and the shiso. The shiso seedlings definitely need to be transplanted from the pots where they're growing wild. I think I'll put some in the space I saved for the leeks that didn't make it.
I also have a bunch of plants from the farmer's market to plant in the herb garden. As long as it doesn't rain, it looks like it will be a very busy weekend for me.
