General Updates

Here is a disorganized update of all my planting.

My largest pepper plant.   These guys are slow growers compared to the tomatoes and squash.

Cayenne Pepper

 I thought that I didn't plant enough yellow onion seedlings compared to the white and purple onions so I planted some more.

Onion Seedlings

 You've already seen these onions but I wanted to show off my little fellow garden companion.   He's always out with me keeping me company.

Red and White Onions

 Here is progress on my grape vines.  You can see growth compared to the last pictures.

Mars Seedless Grape Vine

Its alive.   The tree my gardener planted is sprouting out leaves.  Very nice.   I'm so excited that I'll have shade this year.   I'm watering this guy a few times a week since its roots are relatively limited as it just got planted here.

 Jamaica.  I've shown this to my husband and he tells me that the plant should be more red by now.   So he doubts this is the same Jamaica they grow down in Guerrero, Mexico.  I'm just glad its still alive.  Its just a waiting game to see how it decides to grow.

My herb pot.  The cilantro has sure grown.   I don't know if any of it is parsley.   You can see the basil on the side.

Here is my chamomile.   It looks super cool.   I'm enjoying it because compared to the Oregano and Spearmint flop I had, these are growing along just fine.

Here is the current jungle in my windowsill.   Some observations are the tomatoes are big as is the tomatillo.   The tomatillo likes to flop over.  I'm scratching my head over wether that is normal, but I have plans to harden it off soon and plant outside.

Up in front and center is the eggplant.

These are the Jalapenos and Bell Peppers I planted not too long ago.  They are the sprouting bunch from my post on March 9th.

I used my mini green house again and planted more stuff.
Noticably is the butternut squash at the back and purple tomatillos at the front left, peppers at the right and cilantro in the middle left.   I think the tomatillos need more sun because they are growing a ridiculously long stem to try to reach the sunlight.  So my previous theory about being cover and the humidity and moister having them think they were still underground could be false could be true but it has to do more with light than humidity and moisture of the green house.  So these will be transplanted and moved if they get lucky this weekend.  Plus the squash because those are very fast growers.

What happened to the epazote?  Well here it is.  The plant in the center.  I also have a batch as well in the original grown house planting blocks.  I haven't decided where to put them in the garden but they seem to be pretty hardy as I've read they can tolerate freezing temperatures.   Seeing how they are slow growers I don't want to take my chances and have them permanently in the garden yet and have something happen to them.
