This week’s to do garden list… Dig up the new bermuda grass that is encroaching in the veggie patch. Been keeping up on weeds, but the grass is a bitch. Change out the earwig traps. Stake the Mammoth Sunflowers now while they are a foot and a half tall so they don’t get pissed later. Hack the shit out of the tomato plants. They are bushy and out of control. Also, another humus soil drench on thursday to stay on schedule with soil rejuvenation.
Found one tiny chive sprouted. One. I dumped the whole damn seed pack in there this time. I planted these and a big pot of spearmint at the same time… and one damn chive. Let’s go seeds. In the starters, I see a crasapedia coming up. These are drumstick flowers if y’all aren’t familiar with the formal name. So far I only have one that has lived since the greenhouse run. One died from too much water I think. I’ve been leaving the one that survived really dry and it seems fine. It is an oversensitive one. Anywho, I want at least 2 more of these plants. This is one that I’ve really been excited about growing. Same with the Gomphrena in the veggie patch, but only like 2 or 3 came up (I planted 5 or 6 out there) and survived bug attack. It will still be really pretty.
Edit: Meant to note, the artichoke plant responded favorably to the last liquid fish foliar. That damn thing is the healthiest plant out there now. So give me a damn artichoke! I’ve had this thing since last fall.
