Third harvest, and some seeding

Slowly but surely, a little more progress.  Yes, late, but better late than never.

More weeding of the strays.  Perfect for a lunch of bun (rice noodles, dressed with nuoc mam).

 

Honey suckle planter - Before.  Note the weeds.

At the 10 o'clock position - that might be a weed; unclear; showing some mercy for now.  Dried weeds pulled and cut up for composting in the three o'clock to nine o'clock half.  Snapdragons(?) in the two o'clock position.

 

Seeds - stored in little creamer cups in a plastic egg container.

 

Tomato seeds from last year - extremely good sweet grape ones bought and consumed.  And the patio tomatoes purchased last year from Home Depot and planted.

Seeds saved from the small little tri-color peppers purchased and consumed from Fairway.

More seeds planted - saved from last year's plants.  The Husky Cherry was also a Home Depot purchase from last year.

 

Upcycling the little plastic creamer cups.  Drilled at the bottom so they can be filled with compost, seeded, and set into pots for planting.  And then when the sprouts come up, the plugs can be planted directly.

Filled with the compost planting medium.  I microwaved these - on the theory any stray seeds would be nuked and the compost rendered sterile.

Hard to see, but there might have been a little snail victim of the nuking.

Geranium seeded creamer plug containers, in their pot.

Tomato plugs.

 

Bird basin - experimenting with cultivating a blanket of moss.  That might give it a "cooling" visual in lieu of water.  Worried water will just breed mosquitoes.

Day lilies.

 

Sissy bought some basil plants.  She doesn't think she'll be able to keep them alive on her south-facing windowsill.  So I get some.
