GROWING THINGS

[Bajanne]

Don't go chewing tobacco to keep the slugs from your "pot" plants!!

Just saying "High!" to all you pot gardeners like me!
Now I finally have the picts of my pots.

This picture is of some seasoning peppers I just threw outside to dry and get the seeds.

POT PICTS
In the first pict, there are my seasoning pepper plants coming along nicely, with some broad-leaf thyme and a spinach.
[The little brown pot is a disappointment of mine.  I bought what I thought was a thyme plant at the garden store.  it turns out to be lemon basil, and I have no idea what to do with it.  I cannot just throw it away, so I am just letting it grow there]
Second pict is my thyme (along with some that I bought already grown).  My parsley and chive are yet to appear properly.
My spinach growing on the fence
A pot of aloes - looking for somewhere to let it grow in the ground.

blossom end rot maybe skyedogrocks??? Has something to do with the watering I think.

It's a moisture problem. Water early in the morning and make sure you have good drainage. A little mulch would help.

Bajanne, LEMON BASIL--- I grow it to make tea. I also cut it, wrap it in kite string, let it dry, and put it in the bathtub! (I do this with chamomile, too, which is my favorite and great for the skin. Also a really good tea.) Lemon basil is great in salads, pesto, on top of fish or chicken esp. grilled. Yummy!

[Bajanne]

Forgot to say thanks - the lemon basil just went up in my estimation.  I used it in a fish sauce the other day!

My seasoning pepper plants are doing so well!  Two of them have flowers, and the three others have buds.  I must take a picture for you guys tomorrow.
And I ate spinach from my spinach in the pots three times.  And I used the thyme from the plant I had bought, and my thyme plants that I grew from seeds are doing very well.  I could use some if I wanted!  Abd my parsley is ready for replanting, but I haven't got the pots as yet!!
And I just planted some marjoram seeds.  And I have another pot with 5 seasoning pepper shoots that came up from seeds!!!
 
gotta get those picts in the morning!

[twirl]

what kind of seeds did you plant

[flip]

probably not the same kind I planted

My dust bunnies are hopping out from under the bed.

My stuff is growing (and not just cysts and dust bunnies  )

I had a problem with some white bugs underneath my pepper plants leaves.  I made a spray of detergent and water and sprayed them.  I hope it works.

Your plants look great. Wish I had some of the peppers!

Basil has to be one of my favorite herbs...I especially love making fresh bruschetta in the summer with tomatoes, basil and lots of garlic.

Here are some pictures I took this morning.

wow thats amazing Del not so long ago your garden was covered in snow !

[flip]

My cherries were gone a long time ago. What I don't pick in the first day or two, the birds get. I need to pick my grapes tomorrow and make some jelly. I love sausage biscuits with grape jelly.

[del]

We get grapes from a friend that has a vine.  We make wine out of ours.  Really good.  Grapes that grow here (cold climate) aren't usually sweet enough to eat but are great for making wine!!!

[flip]

Mine are Concord...better for jelly or jam than wine. It's way overgrown with a lot of dead vines. I need to drastically cut it back this winter.

Beautiful astilbe and lilies Del.  So much the sweeter too for the fact that the ground is covered in snow for so much of the year.

Here are some pictures I took this morning. 

Lovely del!

[twirl]

I planted tomatoes and peppers. The tomatoes were doing really well until I fell into them picking them.  Right after having my cast taken off of my left arm.  Fortunately the plants caught me, but did a major number on them. They were still producing until we got a deluge of rain this past week and now they have some kind of mildew all over them.

My peppers seem to still be doing well, but they are supposed to be bell peppers and some of them are red!
