Lots of progress with my seedlings as more garden goodies and great flowers spring up. I seem to be getting better at taking pics with my Nikon D3000 than I have been of late as they have turned out pretty clear this time except for one that turned out somewhat fuzzy. As you can see by the pics my seedlings are growing very well. We did however loose two basil seedlings. But not to worry more Basil has been added to a six pack and should be up and growing next week. You can never have enough basil. Hope to add another rosemary plant next week too.  No the big seedlings are not squash.They are Ali Baba Watermelon and the ones above them are Tuscan melons.The tomatoes below the melons are Black Krim,Costoluto Genovese,Costoluto Feorentino,Thessaloniki and Nineveh,Basrawya seems to be taking it's time and will be up and growing when it feels like it.  Here we have in the lower center cell Trinidad Scorpion peppers and to the right some Lemon Drop and above them a Giallo d'Asti.  Here we have from right to center cell zinnias and marigolds the two cells on the left are Tomatoes: Giant Italian Paste and Martino's Roma.  |

Lady bugs , Native Lady Bugs seem to be common here so we will have help battling aphids if they show up.In the ground right now are My plants from Bonnie Plants and so far they are doing ok. Also planted are my Ali Baba Watermelon. These buggers grew quick and had to be planted. Never seen watermelon grow so fast. Will get new pics of my plants soon. |
