If it goes another month or so, a pesto might be in order! That or a caprese, though I don't know where I'd get the tomatoes.

It may be tiny, but it's surprisingly tough! We've already had a couple of mornings that were just a bit above freezing, and it's still looking happy. If it stays small I might well put it in a pot and move it inside to weather any cold snaps. Basils can be tough, but freezing is science!🌱

The trace amounts of salt on seaweed are normally not cause for concern, especially if you irritate regularly or live in an area with even modest amounts of rain. If you'd like to exercise an abundance of caution, you can quickly spray it down with your garden hose prior to application.

I agree! There's not much better than sitting on the rocks and taking in the ocean mist while I sip my warm coffee.

Yeah, it's a great mulch as well, and overall does a really good job of amending poor soil. It's generally alkaline though, and so care should be taken to monitor your pH levels if you use it often.🌱

That's one of the great things about peaches (and apricots), they tend to be true to seed! This means id you eat an especially sweet one, you should plant it and see what you get!🌱

That's a good point! Maybe the fretting was (is) warranted!

Just know that a planted seed will yield a variety different from the mother tree, and may not yield desirable fruits. Imagine the heartbreak of waiting years, only to discover the fruits are stringy and flavorless.

It makes me wonder - What other things should I have already planted years ago?

Those look like Roma tomatoes. Are yours still sweet this time of year? Starting in September mine lose their sweetness and begin to become more tangy in flavor.
