Given the tremendously warm weather we are having the tomatoes are growing like crazy. The majority of them are ready for bigger pots and that continues to be an ongoing process thus the term "potting on." The biggest challenge is going to be where to house them over the next four weeks. Peppers are not far behind and the cabbage are on steroids. The current watering process of all the indoor plants is about 30 to 45 minutes. Watering and turning, watering and turning. We don't have a greenhouse or poly tunnel yet, so our south facing three season porch is converted to a green paradise.
The cold frame continues to do it's job with lettuce, beets, swiss chard, and radishes bursting out of the ground. I added spinach, sweet basil, cilantro, and more beets yesterday.
Along with the potting on process new seeds are started. Herbs and flowers. Basils (sweet, genovese, thai, opal) fennel, lambs ear, oregano, marjoram, and the list goes on. Flowers too numerous to mention.
We continue to prep the gardens. Laying mulch for the tomatoes and peppers in the Bella Garden. Establishing beds in the Noeilia Garden, which received onion sets and bunching onions yesterday. The Amaya Garden will soon receive rows of carrots and finally the Yuli Gardens will be filled with the herbs and flowers we are starting.
