Green

The big leaves at the bottom are the cucumber plants.
My garden continues to grow and become greener. It is really nice to think on day three that nothing is happening and a day later, four green dots are becoming visible. Soon growing to leaves. And when you have so many different plants, everything comes up at a different rate.

Most of the plants are now residing outside, with a few still waiting inside. Although they are now being hardened (outside during the day, inside during the evening and night), so they will get used to being outside. 

Spot the tendrils and yes, there is one on the left plant as well...
Some of the things I have already planted are slowly showing growth, which is great to see. The radishes are doing great and are forming new leaves all the time. The snow peas have started to form some tendrils they will use to hang on to the small sticks to keep them upright. 

There are a couple of plants that look like they might not survive. The bell pepper was a plant I had bought from some children, but I think it got drowned and has not survived. I used the pot for the courgette and that can be planted in an even bigger pot on the weekend.

The courgette needs three leaves at least before being relocated to its permanent home.
The Swiss Chard is barely hanging on at the moment, but I have several more plants coming up and being hardened as I speak, so I should get some crop out of it. Fingers crossed. The cucumber is doing fine right now, but they need fairly large pots to help them survive. Once they can be relocated, as they are still living in their 'birth' pot at the moment. 

So far, so good!

  7. It is so rewarding to see the growth of something you planted. My mom and mother in law both had green thumbs and loved gardening. I did okay but nothing like them. Wishing you the very best! Klem

  8. Wishing you luck with all of them. I know that last year we had issues with a few of our plants. Haven't gone to buy any yet this year but we need to soon.
