Planted a "Bucket O'Carrots" today. It's a pretty big bucket, about 2-1/2 feet across and about 1-1/2 feet deep, so we should get some awesome carrots! I was inspired by a picture I saw of some container carrots being harvested by the fistful! While dreaming of handfuls of yummy carrots, I remembered this bucket at the side of my house and was thrilled to find some gorgeous soil underneath about 3 inches of leaves!
We also started some cherry tomatoes in a smaller 8" pot. Those seeds are really old so I'm not sure if they will even sprout - but I figure not a waste of anything to try.
I had some fun looking closer at my dwarf Meyer lemon tree and found a couple of teeny tiny baby lemons! The hardest part of it all though is knowing that I won't have lemons to harvest for 6-9 months!! BUT I found out that dwarf trees when brought in and out will actually bud, flower and grow all year long for constant harvests. I kind of LOVE that idea!!
Also finally transplanted the poor Sunflowers - they were getting a bit sad! I was almost too late I think - But ALAS! They are in a big pot now and drinking some nice yummy organic fertilizer, water and getting plenty of sun! I took a couple of pictures of the flowers and noticed how different they look in the center at the different stages! Beautiful!
Okay, so that's it for today!! Enjoy!! And always remember: Orange is NOT a good color for pink elephants! Muahaha!!
