The baby spinach is already in the salad - beautiful baby leaves. The tomato plants are strong and there are probably too many and the leeks are growing well. The coriander is just longing to join up with the chillies to make our delicious chili coriander pesto and the basil is looking wonderful. Unfortunately the peppers and brinjals did not come up so I have ordered some seedlings of the same as well as loose leaf lettuce, red and butter. There are also edible flower seedlings on the way - creeping violet, pansies and violas. Nasturtiums are coming up in my circular herb garden and the roses are beginning to look really good after some feeding with our home made compost. Next month is pruning month and I am looking forward to giving the girls their "haircuts"!
There are new lettuce seeds to be planted but as it is now waning moon I will plant only a few and wait for waxing moon to plant more. It will be interesting to see how much of a difference there might be. Now is the time for underground vegetables to be planted so we will be planting sweet potato, onions, carrots and red skin potatoes if I can find any.
I love watching the little babies grow! It is so exciting to know that it is all healthy stuff.
Grow babies grow!!!
