I would like a place I can talk about the random happenings in my garden that don’t justify a stand alone post. Exciting things like my tomato plant finally growing, or the sadness that my snow peas seem to be dying off prematurely.
Would anyone else like to share their gardening snippits? If there is enough interest I can set up a regularly weekly thread (@[email protected] I presume that will be ok?)
Pic is just for interest - this is the collection of gardening pictures I put together to illustrate my garden design goals for a recent assignment.
The parsley is really happy, upright and bushing out. Subjecting everything to benign neglect, letting it dry out a little and pouring out the reservoir after watering seems to help. Some of the spinach plants are cactus but others are still alive somehow. Carrots looking good.
The cat grass is still growing shamefully slow though.
I had to pull a bunch of self-seeded parsley out of the garden as it was taking over. Now the curled parsley has all gone to seed and the remaining flat leaf are growing very slowly, perhaps in protest at what happened to their friends and family. Now I have a parsnip that seems to be planning world domination, and as it is now taller than I am I don’t think it’s a good idea to argue.
