Baby Beans
I finally got all the baby basils transplanted into their nice peat pots and outside. The first batch graduated to a couple hours in the sun today, before I had to put them, and the baby peppers, back into the shade. Hope it won’t be too much more than a week or so before the basil I intended to plant in the garden are big enough to move into the garden.
Here’s a couple pics of the baby basils and peppers…
This is 2/3 of the baby basils, and a couple of creeping sedum. When I went to Lowe’s the other day, they had the almost-dead plants on clearance for $2. I picked up a 4″ pot of the creeping sedum that looked like it just needed some TLC, and repotted it into two pots. I think it’ll make it. Hope so; it’s cute! I also got a gal. pot with 3 penta for the same price. One of them was obviously dead, but the other two looked like they could make it. I threw the dead one in the compost pile, and potted the other two into separate pots. I trimmed the foliage back by like half; though it pained me greatly, I cut off every single flower bud, too. I want them to make roots and start growing before they bloom. It was for their own good, much as it hurt.
Here are the rest of the basil and the peppers.
And here are the bush beans just sprouting. The green mini-milk crates are rabbit and bird protection until they get too big for it; I’ll make one of Mel’s cages in the next few days. Pardon the toes…
Oh, yea, the night-blooming jasmine…it started to bloom last night, and again tonight. I wish there was some way to transmit that heavenly aroma across cyber-space so you could smell it, too. The fragrance is every bit as heavenly as I’d heard.
Gotta go; got some flower seeds I soaked overnight to get planted, then I’m going to bed…
