Happy Earth Day 2020!
I wish you a happy Earth Day! I read somewhere that for gardeners, every day is Earth Day. I feel like that's true for me. I do try to enjoy God's creation and do my part to care for it every day.
Well, I had a photo for you but even after 3+ attempts, Google still won't let me upload it. This isn't really working out. The photos are a real pain in the patootie to load and without the photos I don't think it's really interesting to anyone except me (and the photos would be helpful for me too, to have along with the text). I don't remember having so many issues with my other blogs. Ah well, no more complaining.
The photo I wanted to share was of my plants that I take outside each day and bring in on cold nights. It included: bush beans (five in one two-gallon pot), two boysenberry bushes, a blueberry bush, a fig tree, zucchini (four in one two-gallon pot), and the zinnia I think I shared before.
Inside (not pictured) are my from-food-seed tomato and strawberry plants. About eight tomato seedlings and two strawberry seedlings. The strawberries are so tiny they're barely visible. I had a much greater success rate with the tomatoes (about 8 out of 12 germinated) than the strawberries (about 2 out of 8 germinated). Also inside are three Corsican mint seedlings and the sixth bush bean which looks like it tried to sprout but maybe didnt make it. There's a bit of green but given that the other seeds I planted the same day are about 8" high now and this one isn't even an inch above the soil level, I'm not holding out a lot of hope that it'll be a winner.
I was hoping to plant everything of decent size outside this week but it looks light we might get another frost next week so I'm going to wait until then and check the forecast again before deciding.
May all your gardening be joyful!
