New potting soil mixed with old, screening to guard against squirrels.
Watering through the screening breaks up the stream and works like a fine spray, so it doesn't dislodge the teeny plants. I'll separate them further in a while. If they succeed, my friends next door will get some.
Speaking of which, the squash are steaming along, and if I train them towards the neighbor's patio, they can harvest them and cut out the middlegardener.
I'm literally tending to my own patch, to do my bit, for a small area of peace on earth.
That's what we're doing. It is good in so many ways.
ReplyDeleteIt is too early for tomato plants here yet but I planted the kale and cabbage plants.
ReplyDelete"I'm literally tending to my own patch, to do my bit, for a small area of peace on earth". Yes! Thank you for this.

Sounds as if we're of one mind, everyone!
ReplyDeleteA small area of peace on earth - what we all need in present times.
ReplyDeleteGoodness - our tomatoes are just about done here. We might get another couple weeks but that's all.
ReplyDeleteOurs are still a pleasure to come. Every year the first tomato sliced with mozzarella, great.
