Visual Plant Update!
These are plants I just put in soil week and a half ago, they're all coming out very well! I'm scared of the cantaloupes but right now they're just little babies. On pictures are 1: cantaloupes 2: eggplants 3: tomatoes
These are cherry tomatoes, two little sunflowers, and a dwarf tomato! All doing well, though the dwarf is yellowing at the edges and possibly needs fertilization.
On the first picture you can see lots of previously planted peppers and tomatoes, and also my onions are dying! This happened last time as well so I'm not surprised, though I do not know what their problem is. I have watered them, the pot is well drained, I tried in the past to plant them separately in smaller pots and the same thing happened. Confusing, but few are alive still, and if only few survive I can accept that. Second picture is that wild batch of tomatoes that's been wilding, it's continuing to grow super fast, and the last one is the illegal tomato! Thriving, easily the biggest plant out there.
In the garden.
The haul from a productive little journey to Blomsterlandet ("Flower Country") after work this evening. Plus some miscellaneous junk visible out in the balcony room, which is past due some spring garden cleanup!
My primary mission today was to pick up some tomato plants. It hopefully shouldn't be too early, since they are going in the glassed-in balcony area. No seeds started this year, and we do have the car now so it's much easier to haul all kinds of stuff around.
I grabbed two tomato plants, and this mystery vaguely banana pepper-looking variety to go into the three existing buckets.
I know the 'Totem' is supposed to be good in containers and heavy bearing for a smallish plant. Then I decided to stay sane for our current growing situation, and opted for this other bush tomato variety that I'd never heard of before.
But! Turns out that 'Vilma' has some other plans in mind.
That's it, that's how big the plants get. I like the cute little micro dwarves, and these are supposed to have a good flavor. But, somehow I think that the bucket will need to find another new occupant.
For now, at least, I think 'Vilma' will probably be better off moving up into one of these.
Besides the edibles, I also couldn't resist picking up these when I saw them.
A few unnamed African violets, and the lone Cape Primrose that I saw in the store. (Though, come to find out, these are apparently all classified as Streptocarpus now.) Not as wild about the pinks, but I'll take what I can get. All the Saintpaulias and Streptocarpus that I had (including the few luggage-smuggled from the UK) ended up dying for one reason or another, and I'm glad to get some more cheerful little blooming buddies in here.
Their new home in the living room for now. With that sad aloe and dracaena which needs some serious repotting. It's just staying too chilly in the balcony plant room still. (Which is what got most of the other ones.) Hopefully I will manage to keep these happier than the last ones!
So many peppers! And this is a few days ago, there’s even more now. I have a total of 11 pepper plants this year, 9 different varieties.
baby pepper baby pepper baby pepper!!!!! 🫑
Yes, it's May 25 and yes, there's a frost warning tonight.
