I’ve been falling behind on posting (eeeek!), so here it is short and
sweet.
Sweet potato?! Still no slips after about two weeks, just
mold. I’ve switched out the first one for some purple sweet potatoes from a tianguis rather than the grocery store that
I’ve left whole. These seem to be working better.
Radishes are basically rock stars, the ones I’ve planted
along with spinach look great and have leaves coming in.
From the seeds I started, I had germination from broccoli,
cauliflower, and carrots, and a few leeks.
I started more seeds (and some tomato) in another carton in
case I drowned these ones or something. No surprise here, only the radish seeds
have sprouted.
Lettuce looks great! Beets look good, I decided to thin
them a bit for more leaf space.
I finally replanted the dill in a deeper container and it
seems to be doing much better.
I also started saving the roots/lower stems from verdolaga/purslane – probably my
favorite salad green, and I image pretty easy to grow as it’s generally
considered a weed. They’ve regrown leaves and are thriving in the soil. Going
to plant many more.
I’ve been looking at some container/rooftop garden blogs for
inspiration and found a bunch of cool gardens using plastic bottles for shallow
rooting plants like lettuce.
I'm out of soil again so that's all for now. More soon!!!!
