A Bit Late & A Dollar Short

Today I started some Nasturtium Papaya Cream (left & middle) and Milkweed. It's a bit late for the milkweed, but oh well!

The volunteer ground cherries are blooming and setting fruit!

This cute little spider decided to make his home in a Lemon Cucumber bloom this morning.

Night Blooming Jasmine in bloom!

More May Market Finds

I barely made it back to May Market today! I did get the wrong tomato yesterday! I got the one I really wanted to try instead! Marvel! Yes, I picked it because of its comic name! Hopefully it is as good as its description says it was!

A few more plants! I couldn't help it! It's like a kid in a candy store! I found a red Bleeding Heart! I also got a Night Blooming Jasmine and a different variety of Mendenille, myriantha to be exact! 

I realized today at work that I forgot to water my plants this past Wednesday, my mid-week french! 😳 When I got upstairs I found my Amaryllis in bloom! Way late as it should've bloomed two Christmases ago!

I also found my peach Epiphyllum ready to bloom! Except the other two buds it had blasted 😫

We've been on a tent caterpillar rampage here on the apple tree! 

The garlic here is not doing as well as the other area.

Got new Hakone grass for the planter boxes planted! Just need ONE more!!! There are one box on each end that I don't know if I ought to fill in or not...

Bletilla striata is poking through the ground next to its seed capsule from last year!

The Jungle & Vacation

After being away for a week I came home to a jungle! Well...sort of. It's never good to put someone else in charge, especially if that someone else is male and not into plants! My jasmine and Tiny Tim tomato are in shock. :( My lemon lost its baby lemon! :( Nothing died persay, but stressed for sure!
My acorn squash doubled in size as you can see in the above pic. It has a baby squash growing on it! The marigolds I planted last year has gotten HUGE! Had I known they were going to get that big I wouldn't have planted them next to the peppers! I might need to dig them out...in fact, that's probably a good idea! They weren't nearly as big last year!

Here's two pics of my Dahalia 'Seattle'. I accidentally broke this one so I had to cut it off the plant!
