So I finally took some photos this morning. This is an overview of the general area. Everything was reasonably perky but I have seen them looking better.
Carrots - do they need thinning out further? or will they not last the transfer. I've read that it's best just to remove a few when they are almost ready and the remaining carrots will grow more.
The cauliflower was already well established by the time we moved into the house. The lettuces were planted from tiny seedlings and have grown a lot in just a couple of weeks!
My corn. I am really looking forward to these being ready. Their growth has been phenomenal!
My beautiful cucumber seedlings. I am so proud of these!
My mint. I also have a pot of peppermint. In general, I don't use mint when I cook, however someone told me that it's good to keep flies away. I have the peppermint on the outdoor table and the mint is usually inside. There has definitely been a reduction in the number of flies buzzing around.
Little cherry tomatoes. I'm just waiting for them to be ready. They already look yum!
And sadly, here is the failure. My poor little strawberry plant. I need to get a bigger and better pot for her as soon as the shops open again. As sad as she looks in the photo, it is a marked improvement on how she looked yesterday so maybe there is hope yet.
It would be awful to finish this post on such a bad note like the strawberries so here are the lemons on the tree that overhangs into our yard. They are coming along nicely. I'm not sure how long lemons take to ripen. There is a lime tree next to it but they all seem very hard, do they soften up as they ripen?
Merry Christmas!
