All I Have To Do Now Is Wait...

Today I planted everything that I bought on Wednesday, plus some carrots and leaf lettuce from the seeds that I bought 2 years ago. I covered everything except the areas planted with seeds with cedar mulch. I used grass clippings instead of cedar in the back corner behind the tomatoes. We'll see how that turns out. I had to go back to Loblaws to get another bag of cedar mulch and a pot for Tiny Tim. While I was there, I also bought a hose nozzle.

Here are a couple of shots from my upstairs window (I guess I should have closed the umbrella):


  

  


...and a couple of shots from ground level (kneeling in the window well):


  

  


Chives, Oregano, Parsley, Basil, Rosemary, Red Onions and Tiny Tim in the clay pot:


  


English Cucumbers, Spaghetti Squash and Musk Melon (Cantaloupe):


  

  


Cayenne, Jalapeno, Hot Banana and 2 Orange Bell Peppers, and Red and Yellow Cherry Tomatoes (You can see where I used grass clippings as mulch in the back corner instead of cedar):





Green Beans on the left, Peas at the back, Carrots front left and Lettuce front right. I left room to plant more lettuce in a few weeks to see if I can spread out my harvest a bit.





Here are a bunch of photos of the Forget-Me-Nots that I got from Gram's yard. When I planted these last year, they were four small (3" diameter) plants and they didn't bloom. I guess they're making up for it this year.


  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  




...and here are a couple of macro shots of the blossom on the Tiny Tim Tomato plant:


  




Like the title of this post says, all I have to do now is wait. Damn, I'm already hungry.

Hopefully I'll remember to take more photos throughout the summer. ;-)

You know...
Those are cool shots, and it seems like you will have a great garden and everything BUT...

Your blog is called RIX REC ROOM and every single post in the blog takes place outside.

AND

You called yourself I LIKE BEER and then never mention the beverage.

SO

I say you post more about drinking in your living room, to better keep with your theme.

Always with the details...

Perhaps I'm so in-touch with nature that my back yard is my rec room. It's certainly small enough to be considered a room and gardening is a rec(reation)...

Thanks for stopping by ;-)

No tomatoes for you! Come back, one year!
