I am pretending you are all terribly interested in the progress of my balcony garden so I am here with more spieling and pictures!!
Since my last post things have been growing away at quite the pace! I am pleased. Hopefully I veel be procuring more pots and soil because I am rather wanting to grow peas and beans as well.
Anyhow, the tomatoes on my beefsteak plant are getting nice and plump though I think they are still a fair ways away from being ready to harvest.
The other tomato plant has blossoms now too which is most excellent!
My parsley, lettuce, spinach and swiss chard are now all quite easily identified though I think the spinach and swiss chard are needing to be thinned out here soon so that they can have space to grow nice and big! Sadly I think tis about the end for my spinach, we had a massive heat wave a week or so ago and I think that caused it to go into flowering mode, so methinks I might harvest it all and replant, poop to the heat!!
The basil is grood, although rather in need of a larger pot, the picture here is it post-harvesting - yum, pesto!!
My yellow squash plants, so much bigger than last time! They have these little buds right by the stem right now but I have yet to determine if they are leaf type buds or flower type buds.
Spaghetti squash! This is growing speedylike as well, although methinks it will soon be wanting to not have a small shared pot between two plants. Bleh, I am having major plotschemes of trying to build some kind of big standing soil holder so I can grow lots of big things!!
Lastly, lettuce and wee parsley! I have another pot of lettuce but it is in segregation at the moment. I spied aphids on it the other day so it is undergoing the oh so sophisticated treatment of dish detergent mix being sprayed on it.
Sorry some of the pictures are fuzzy, I made a mad dash taking pictures before the camera battery ran out. I really need a battery charger...
Anyhew, hopefully you are all well and employed.
Hermy
