Happy Birthday to ME! My birthday was the 13th. It was lovely. I worked.
I also got a new job. And my plants are looking FABULOUS.
Take a looksy:
^ One of the Burgundy Bean Bushes FLOWERING :D (They are all flowering)
We got some new additions (as stated in the last post). Here are the tomato plants you all have been waiting patiently for:
^ Marglobe Tomato (Marglobe Tommies)
^ Roma Tomato Plant (Romas)
^ Jetsetter (This is not me, but I'd love that tomato)
^ Cherry Tomato Plant (Sounds Promising)
Sorry again, for all the grass. However, I found the button on my camera phone to change the lighting. Finally. 6 months after my purchase.
ANYWAYS
^ Overall Progress
^ Weepy on 06-16-13 (lower plant pictured)
^ Weepy on 06-18-13! (lower plant pictured) Just two days later. We have flowers!!!

These were the Scallion/Onion. The left was grown outdoors, the right was grown indoors. I brought the one from the indoors to the outdoors about 2 or 3 weeks ago. It became a dark green like the one pictured on the left. When I transplanted them today, I noticed the one that started outdoors had bulbish roots and were stronger roots. I would suggest planting the seeds OUTDOORS to start. No need to start them indoors. They do come up later than planting them indoors - about 2-3 weeks.
^ What I call bulbish roots
^ New habitat.
The planter is metal with a painted finish. I am hesitant about it because it does not drain. However, I figure eventually it will rust out by nature if I'm lucky ;) It was $6.99.
The potting soil and flower pot I got from a place called Christmas Tree Shops. The soil was $2.99 a bag and claims to be organic. And it said "ready to use" which, I didn't know that soil was never really ready to use... I used a little over half a bag to fill the metal flower pot. I took the plastic milk jug half and put it in the backyard to collect rainwater for watering. I also did this with all the other containers. I am ignoring the fact that it may indeed look like a small recycled garbage pit. As long as mom and pops don't say anything about it, I'm golden.
My plants are easy. Easily accessible :)
Anddddd I'm done for today.
