Because gardeny stuff.
Peas! Will probably have to thin them out soon.
Cherry Tomato plant #1 ("Red") Getting about time to stake him, since between the hot weather, some hot fertilizer tips and a companion sowing of basil plants around his base he's about doubled in size in 2 weeks. Yikes.
Spidey, still convalescing from the Frost Scare of May, but seems to be making a good recovery. Spider plants are damn hard to kill, y'all.
Still rather badly need to break up and repot these guys. Maybe when the weather breaks a bit and I can get to Annies for more of the organic dirt.
The basil seed I'd picked up is a purple variety, and some of the ones I'd sown into the window boxes are already well into their second leaves.
Cherry Tomato plant #2 ("Black"). Also shot up super fast, and is getting a little leggy. Will have to see about staking and slowing him down.
ALERT! We have our first habanero! This is not a drill!
So far the only problem I've encountered with the new plants is this summer is extremely beetle heavy and as shown in that last picture, they like to snack on the delicious leaves of my plants. Otherwise so far neither tomato plants have manifested the aggravating spotty fungus that plagued my efforts last year, possibly because its been so hot that most of the humidity in the air has been burning off as opposed to a steady 76 degree soup like last summer. It's only been 2 weeks though - we'll see how we do later on.
