Water it and they will grow

There are things growing in my backyard.  It's exciting.

LET'S TAKE A QUICK TOUR!

POTTED PLANT SECTION:

Here are the potted plants.  Basil and Rosemary in the first one.  Parsley is starting to grow back in the second pot.  There were a few weeks where I thought I had killed it, but resilient stands the parsley.  

The smaller plant in front of the parsley is mint.  It's not doing so well, but I think it just needs a little time, and soon a bigger pot.

In this pot I had planted a BUNCH of onion bulbs.  There were extras and I didn't want to waste them.  Technically I've already planted onions, but you can never have enough onions.


Also I think these are doing better than the ones I planted in the bed. So they might be transplanted over to the beds.  WHICH WILL FREE UP THE POT FOR SOMETHING NEW YAY!  It'll probably be garlic (the ones I planted haven't sprouted yet) or chick peas or I'll move the mint over to that pot.

I can't remember what I planted in here, but the sprouts are SPROUTING LIKE WHOA.


It's either cilantro or chives.  I planted a bunch of seeds in the two smaller pots.  They are both sprouting and growing, but I can't tell which is which....YET.

RAISED BEDS:

The Sweet Sun Tomatoes seedlings that I bought are doing really well.  Already have grown a good 5 inches since I bought them.  Even saw a few flower buds getting ready to go.  I'm not sure if I need to cage them for support but I'll find out soon enough I guess.

The rest of this bed contains garlic, onions, and asparagus.....

.....speaking of asparagus......

This....I can't handle it.  Asparagus stalk!!!!  



Everyone said that asparagus takes years to start cultivating and within a month I've gotten one stalk already.  I can't handle it.


I planted two varieties, green and purple.  I have only the one stalk but that's just freaking peachy with me.  I am so proud of me. :)

The garlic hasn't sprouted yet.  I think it might be because I didn't put straw over top of them like I read.   oops.

These radish sprouts were growing really close together so I spread them out a little....


.....I may have killed a few in the process.

Not sure what these sprouts are....could be brussel sprouts, could be broccoli....time will tell

I think these are purple potatoes.....?

CUCUMBERS!!!  They are doing really well.  Already had some flowers show up.  Should be getting some babies soon! 

Sweet potatoes!  They are just chilling.  Nothing too crazy happening over here. 

That's pretty much it as far as photos.  The pear tree hasn't died yet, fingers crossed.  And my raspberry bushes are starting to grow leaves from the main stalk!!!  I'm so freaking pumped.  I think I might buy a bunch more wildflower seeds and throw them around.  None of the flowering seeds have flowered yet, but there's definitely sprouts happening. 

Japanese Maple is confused what season it is in

Damn I'm good.

Next activity is inside.  I bought a washer and dryer set this past weekend and they are being installed Saturday, but the floor below it needs some TLC.  So that's happening today or tomorrow.  Not sure what I'll do.  Most likely will just pull up the linoleum and deep clean the concrete. 

OH!  I also bought curtain rods and curtains, that'll be put up once I can get my hands on a power drill again.  They will go on these windows.



















And these ones too.  ALSO!  Mark has moved out...if you can't tell yet.  And I bought a roomba. More details on if it was worth it or not later.
