The Kidney Beans have little bitty bean buds that will soon be flowers.
Today, after watching my Canes win it for the third time, I decided to have a deck-nick. A deck-nick is when we bring the food out to the patio and sit on the deck and eat. We had greenbeans (storebought because I don’t have any yet), cheese, chips and salsa, and chocolate creme pie. We also had orange juice to drink. I slammed home a considerable amount of OJ which is probably good because I must have been craving some Vit. C.
Well, there is nothing like eating among your plants to make you do some gardening. So after dinner I moved the Aloe to a 1 gal pot from the 5″ pot it was in previously. Then, since the kideny beans had roots that were coming through the holes in its pot, it went in to the recently vacated 5″ aloe pot. Then the swiss chard got moved into the kidney beans pot. Well, one swiss chard set did. The other one was placed in the salad-greens box.
Which reminds me, I have another salad greens box sitting in my room and very much unsalad-greensed. I should fill it with soil and prep it for duty. And then I should find someone to give it to.
Discovery of the Day:
The aloe is about to have another pup. Since momma-aloe is getting a bit unwieldy, I think I may give momma away and keep the pup (in momma’s old pot) to continue on as my aloe of choice. That pot is about the upper limit of what can fit on my window sill during the winter. On the other hand, I do have a plant shelf with a plant light. I suppose it all depends on whether or not momma can remain upright.
A minor other discovery was the slug I found on my swiss chard pot. I live on the second floor. How did I get a slug on my level? On a concrete balcony. In a brick building.
Question of the Day:
Do aloe plants get top-heavy? And if they do, what can I do about it.
To Be Done Tomorrow:
1. Replant the lemon grass.
2. Put dead plant stuffs in the worm bin.
3. Photograph the developing Barbie Girl tomatoes.
