Transplanted seedlings -6

Tatsoi in pot.

Moved several seedlings to the field including the surprisingly slow growing Swiss chard...

...basil whose leaves are turning purple after a night outside...

...and a few tatsoi ( " ) and spinach seedlings ~( " )~

Petit Budbud's windowsill seedlings -10

Baby chives.

Michelle's basil.

Lonely rosemary.

Munchkin broccoli.

Supermarket sweet pepper seedling.

Seedlings

Repotted globe basil for Michelle. The sweet basil seedlings are one month old.

Thyme for Bunbun, approximately one month old. I read somewhere that this herb "repels" rabbits, so I'm left wondering if Bunbun is an anomaly because he loooves this stuff. He will beg for hours just to get one sprig.

Sweet pepper for myself. Also one month old. Will this seed from a store-bought pepper grow and bear fruit? We'll find out soon enough!

Two overwintering mesclun seedlings have popped out of the soil. It's been above 0 during the day lately and an average of +5 behind the screen doors, so it's no wonder plants are starting to appear.

Two week old Bloomsdale spinach *raises fist* I will conquer you this time!

On my windowsill

The sticky note attached to the side of the container indicates it contains 4 basil, 2 mesclun, and 6 thyme seedlings. Only the lettuce isn't doing too well, which isn't a surprise considering how they're not indoor plants

Tiny thyme seedlings don't want to talk to me.

Neither do the mesclun seedlings.

Goodbye, basil

My windowsill basil's life is coming to an end, but it's all good! There is now a stash of little basil seeds waiting to be grown.

How to collect basil seeds.

Indoor plants

Got to start trimming this basil plant again into a round ball

Second generation pea seedling

Since the Venus fly trap isn't doing its job, I have to resort to sticky tape to get rid of the insects in my bedroom

Forest of basil

I really overdid it this time and most of them are only seedlings. Imagine the giant bush I will have by the end of next month

So hot and humid



The life and times of my globe basil

June 14 was impulse buy day: two cute globe basil plants

July 24: both were so round and cute but neither reached their full "giant poof ball" potential

August 11: first time successfully propagating a plant - hooray! In less than two weeks the roots have reached the bottom of the pot and the leaves are looking mighty healthy

Basil's ready!

These 70 day old (so slow growing!) basil plants are ready to leave home for good. I'll think about you guys every time I look over to my windowsill
