So Cool!

There is a tiny pepper on one of my pepper plants and LOTS of blooms!  My jalapeno has little either blooms or peppers on it as well!  Also I have one blackcurrant swirl datura seedling up, hoping more follow in the next few days.  Going to do them like I'm doing the Ballerina mix, just let em grow and not bother them other than to water them, I know they like moist soil.  My miniature rose is blooming it's butt off as well. Life is good in the garden!

Still Great!

The garden is doing so well.  The ballerina mix datura are really growing.  The blackcurrant swirl datura have yet to make an appearance but it's early yet.  Same for the bell pepper.  All the other pepper plants are bearing, I'm in for a bountiful harvest.  My miniature yellow rose is blooming all over the place and appears to be doing well with new growth.  My ivy, prayer plant, closet plant and other survivors are growing in leaps and bounds, the hosta has doubled in size already.  I have such a pretty garden!

Great!

Everything is looking great today.  It will be some time before the seed I planted come up, if they do.  I do have hope for the green pepper, those looked viable.  That would be great, jalapeno pepper, banana pepper, and green pepper.  We could stuff the green pepper.  I love stuffed bell pepper.  We'll see.  Payday I'll get some more seed and begin breaking ground for inground gardens.  I'm ready to do that.

Addition to the Pepper Garden

I planted some bell pepper (green pepper) seed, the seed looked viable, so we'll see but they are old and had gotten soaked in the last rain.  I found some moldy Zinnia seed and put them in the ground and some cactus seed I put in the large round terracotta pot.  We'll see if anything develops.  I have 9 datura seedlings from the Ballerina mix so I lucked out there, now to get them to live long enough to make plants!

All's Fine . . .

All is going well.  I planted the blackcurrant swirl datura seed that came late.  There is a 7th datura seedling in the first pot I planted.  I so hope they thrive.  I want my datura blooms!  If they make viable plants I will transplant each to an individual pot because I have all the seeds in one container, they will choke each other out if they stay in one container.  I have no hope for the bleeding heart I planted, nor the lily of the valley.  I'm done with the bare root I'm going to try to find them in plant form.  I'm ready now to start breaking ground for a bulb garden.  Crocus, iris, Hyacinth, amaryllis.  I'll have to water tomorrow.  Hate that.

Thrill!!

My hosta is coming back!  I'm so happy I love my lil hosta I've had it for 3 years now :).  My datura are up, six out of 10 lil seedlings thus far.  I planted a bleeding heart but of course nothing is coming of it.  My garden is really shaping up!  Unfortunately I forgot and left a plastic glass of seed packets outside, they got soaked in the rain last night and I fear they are lost.  We'll see.
