I was curious how the veggies were progressing in my garden.
April 12th: planted beets and carrots.
Today, I pulled a beet and a carrot to see how they're progressing. The package suggest 60 days to maturity, but during the Spring, we had only a couple days of sun per month so the plants were really growing slowly due to a low heat index.
Carrot is developing the desired spherical shape. The beet still more carrot looking than spherical looking. I'm guessing both are at least 2 to 3 week from maturity.
May 15th: started sunflowers, Thai Basil and Brussels sprouts.
The Thai Basil - flopped. A couple seed sprouted and died back. These seem very hard to grow and very slow to germinate.
Brussels sprouts are in the ground and growing very slowly. 5 out of 10 were eaten by slugs.
Sunflowers are in the ground, but 7 of 10 were hit by slugs and snails.
One of the few
Sunflower #7 bites the dust. Slug ate well this morning before he met Mr. Heel.
I have a little fig tree... actually more like a fig twig I purchased late in the season last year on the clearance desk.
Lone Peter's Honey Fig.
