Meanwhile, back at the main garden... weeks ago...
The spring has meant that the weeds are all growing back.
It's harder to get in, but better cover once you're inside.
I found a fourth way to the garden, but it's not easy.
Here are the pots, as I found them.
First of all, no re-veg this year, none of them survived...
Sad.
But never mind.
The weeds, really weedy weeds, not special 'weeds', are growing well.
A couple of pots...
I want to prep for next grow.
I needed to pull out those old original cloth pots,
and free up the whole space for growing plants.
And, look at this soil!
It's just beautiful, the color, the consistency, the water retention.
Still a couple of those osmocote balls in there, but not many.
It's like this all the way down.
Lots of worms and other bugs in there, too, like big white larvae.
Luckily, didn't see any ants this time.
And, now for the funny part.
When I was pulling the leaves...
Oops, what was that?!?!
A volunteer!
Haha!
Must be one of the L'n'L Jones x (ThaiFrican x Grail) plants.
So, I pull out six seedlings, and here is another.
I think I may have seen a pistil in there.
Must be a couple of weeks old, already.
I did pull it right out, so some root damage.
But I just pushed her right back in there.
I think she'll be okay, just a minor issue.
I also used a bucket in the apartments to scoop up a couple of kg of guano.
Nice and dry by now.
And should be aged/fermented at least six months.
I won't use it here.
It will go for composting and deep application to my veggie garden.
Love & Hugs,
