Sunday Funday #4 - Gardening!

Welcome to another addition to Sunday Funday! It also happens to be the 7th, which means I dedicate a portion of the morning to spending a little more time in the "garden" - giving the plants a little extra attention and repotting/transplanting plants or planting new seeds! So once again this post will be focusing on my daughter's little garden!

First up is the outside raised bed. The lettuce has grown very nicely since last month and believe it or not, we've actually harvested from it a couple times to have salads with dinner! It's been pretty neat to finally have something we can use from the garden! Behind the lettuce, on the closest side, we have green onions growing nicely and we planted some corn to see if we can get them to grow. On the far side, I transplanted the broccoli raab and planted a couple bush bean seeds. 


Next up are our trees which were repotted today! The blue and gray pots have the quenepa/Spanish lime trees and the purple and teal pots have the lemon trees. They usually live inside the patio but they are enjoying the beautiful weather we have outside right now.

                   
Lastly, our container plants in the patio! These have reaco/culantro (which still haven't done any better or worse since last time), basil, yellow onions, bell peppers, tomatoes (this plant looks like it's starting to give up but we'll see), jalapenos, cat grass, Thai basil, chives, poinsettia, and a succulent. Our cilantro and cornflowers died over the last month, so we replanted those and we also planted an avocado pit to see if we can get that to sprout and add to our tree collection!

  1. Nice post on gardening. Enjoyed reading it. It's always a good feeling seeing our seeds turns into saplings. I have successfully grown chilly from seeds which is a great success for me.
