just tomatoes and not much else

sorry but that's the truth and that's why i haven't been posting lately.

and i want to thank my G+ brother Jim H (Jimmy) for prompting me to update this blog when he asked about my garden. check him and his music out - he's a master guitarist and singer from the pen state and he posted some of his lovely music on his profile.

still, i should be thankful for only 2 fatalities and 3 or 4 slowpokes from the august 15 sowing, the rest have caught up with the majestic twelve

you can also see two squash - the smaller one sprouted just last week.

here are four more with the second batch i sowed early september.

there are 5 more in large pots outside but there wasn't enough daylight left to get a good pic.

 curious who i managed to get so much growth in such a short time? promise not to be grossed-out? it's urine and charcoal: i half fill soda bottles with charcoal and ash and pee into them and let steep overnight. mix 50/50 with water and apply daily after watering.

i've kept up starting lots of flower cuttings but not much luck and only the allamanda have thrived. i also cleared the nursery and started more squash and a new bunch of bell peppers - both from saved seeds of the regular market variety. hopefully some will have germinated by my next post. until then, thanks for dropping by. my your garden be more lush than mine.
