Busy Weekend

My best friend visited this weekend and we got the gardening bug in our britches. I had been considering getting another greenhouse before the sale ended as well as looking into getting a composter. Joseph pulled me through my doubt and by the end of the weekend... Ta Da!!! Two Greenhouses now and a composter. Yay! Now all the work starts... maybe. Or have we already done all we could?? Muahahaha!

The plants are all growing so well. The greenhouses are filling up - #1 is filled with plants and #2 is the working greenhouse with the starters and babies. I LOVE it. And once the other GrowBoxes get here, they will both be filled with veggies growing healthy and organic! I can't wait!!

My beautiful Lemon tree has so many blossoms on it that I just KNOW she will give us some great fruit this season! I've been brushing each blossom, hand pollinating it as they bloom open. I can already see the little green bulbs that will grow into lemons! Keep your fingers crossed!











The Herbs are all growing VERY well in their pots. The mints have already doubled in size since their transplant. Basil still not doing well but there is new growth - so I have hope. But just in case - I have 12 pods with two different basil starters growing. So either way, Evan will have his basil this year.





The Strawberry plant is even more bountiful than I'd hoped! There are so many new baby berries on it, that we might just be able to make some jam! I'm also thinking that I'll need to transplant them into a GrowBox soon as well. I think they are a bit snug and need some more space.

We got some beautiful sun flowers that are opening. It's time to transplant them, but the plot isn't ready yet. We'll do that this weekend.











We also found a chocolate mint plant as well (Yay!!) and will be transplanting that this weekend.

There is Chive in the striped pot. Not seen anything from them yet, but the seeds were very old. We got new ones over the weekend so if these don't rise, I will try again.





The grow boxes are also doing well. Even though it's only been less than a week since they were transplanted, I can already see a bit of growth. I can't wait to see how they will look this time next month, or even two weeks from now.

Well... This is what I've been up to. Talk to you again soon, and always remember - if I can do it - YOU can do it! LOL Keep being Green!
