My basil taking off better since I moved them. The other herbs were so tall that these weren't getting enough sun. They've doubled in size since Friday.
My herbs had gotten out of control in the big pot so I transferred some of them into other pots.
This is the new look of my garden. Do you see whats missing. The huge monstrous plants. I moved them to a new home. The squash family all have a new home along the side of my fence.Since I had empty space in the garden I dug up 2 other tomato plants and 2 pepper plants that I had else where and moved them here. I planted the Raspberries in their old home.
My lavender makes it a pleasure to weed around. It is so fragrant and lovely.Notice no weeds in this patch. HA!!!
One of my tomato plants has just gotten to monstrous size. I definitely didn't leave enough room in the garden. I have like 6-7 of them closely planted there. I guess I'm learning all of the garden mistakes.
This is the cucumber that I moved from the pot. I had it up on the fence to trellis and they just weren't doing that good. I left one up there and planted one. This one once it was planted has taken off. Mind you I did this Friday and the thing looked pathetic. It's leaves were yellowing and wilting and there were no flowers on it at all. So I think it likes it's new home.
This is how big my zucchini plant is.I put my big watering can beside it for comparison. It even has baby zucchini's on it.
I moved the cucumber,zucchini, and squash out of the garden and pots and planted them by the fence. I left a bunch of room between them so they can grow. They look good at the moment. I put them in shock by moving them. They were all wilted and looking like they were dying earlier. I did this Friday. Saturday morning they looked this good,but by the time the sun got hot they looked like they were goners. These pictures are taken Sunday morning before the sun is hot. I'm hoping they make it.
These are the beans around the umbrella poll. I planted more and you can see the smaller ones coming up.
This is my third blackberry bush. I had gone back down to my favorite nursery a few weeks ago and we looking into raspberries. I saw how big their blackberry bushes were doing,far better then the one's I have thanks to the dogs.(Mine are recovering nicely though)((i mean the plants not the dogs HA!!!)) Anyway I had to buy this monster one because I guess you can call it jealousy.My biggest one is only half this size and my tiny one that Rocko chewed up is finally growing and is about the length of your hand. I mean that one was chewed to a nub and was almost plucked and tossed out. But it was still green so I let it be. Hey maybe I should name it Rocky Balboa A fighter that never gave up.
Can you see the blushing of purple on my blackberries. I am so so so excited about these.
Finally My cantaloupe are growing. I've planted a whole seed pack and bought 3 different plants. They keep dying. The last of the seeds are growing now as well. So now I'll have cantaloupe running out of my ears. I hope they're better then the ones in the store. They've been gross lately. Good thing these are Leia's number one favorite fruit.
