Happy weekend! How is your garden doing? Today pulled out dead plants and replanted existing ones. Didn't get enough soil so have to do another garden center run. Currently have basil, salvia, green onion and green beans. Put some broccoli and dinosaur kale seeds also #zone10b #vegetablegardening

Scenes from the recent garden. The shin kuroda carrots and pole beans were super yummy.

While hollyhock is a biennial, this one bloomed in 6 months. They get blooms more often in this climate.

Happy Sunday. Showing some progress of my San Marzano starts. I took cuttings and now I have three separate plants! #zone10b #vegetablegardening

Lately lots of birdwatching since the neighborhood sparrows found my feeder. Learned that this mesh combo + mixed birdseed meant more frequent refills.

No rats so far but the squirrels grab any seeds spilled.

Back to the drawing board.

I've never seen this before. The stem growing before adding leaves.

My third try growing lemon queen sunflowers from seed.

I've heard that you can take tomato suckers and replant them. Tried one and there seems to be a decent root.

Saving this guy for succession planting

Beginnings of a cucumber. Because I did not label, no idea if this is Persian muncher or Tasty green

A day off from work doesn’t mean a day off from gardening. Popped over to the allotment to cut the grass, do some watering and protect the currants from those pesky birds.

Zucchini really coming in. Nasturtiums doing better after being shaded by zucchini leaves.

Got free succulents at a public event over the weekend. Can't wait for the plants to fill the pot.

Happy Saturday! Has everyone gotten their morning garden stroll with coffee yet?

Harvested the zucchini and wanted to show the duds and supermodels.

Pruned some more leaves and re-staked the zucchini plants upwards.

My Linaria plant has some serious lean. How to fix? I'm thinking bigger pot.

Got requested Greenstalk for my birthday/Mother's Day. Still experimenting with layout but mostly herbs/lettuces/flowers.

Told the husband this morning I wasn't going to plant any more seeds before our vacation but he was really looking forward to biquinho peppers. Scheduled the sister for vacation plant duty and then started these seeds today.

Crowded bed tour:

Marigolds, chrysanthemum greens, perilla leaves that are hiding under San marzano tomatoes. I am temporarily housing hollyhock and poppy flower seedlings in between two types of cucumbers. Need to trellis the back tomato and cucumbers.
