Fish or cut bait

04/09/2015 by Holly

DSC_0056psYesterday time was up for the seedlings that hadn’t sprouted.

If they didn’t look like this, they got re-seeded.

I kept giving them “one more day…just one more day…” But enough was enough. I expected to find lots of little half-germinated seedlings when I got in there, but I really didn’t.

It was also a good opportunity to rethink just how many poblano peppers one family can eat. So I planted a few less tomatoes and peppers, a few more zinnias, salvia, and a pampas plume celosia I’ve been dreaming of pairing in bud vases with the multi-colored zinnias.

    if you find yourself with way too much salvia, i will selflessly give it a new home for you. i will probably kill it in the first few days since i am the sister who does NOT run a gardening blog. however, the selfless part of me prevails.

Oh, hi there

I'm Holly from zone 7b.
My veggies grow above ground where the rabbits help themselves, and the flowers grow in ground where the children help themselves. Sometimes I wish I was a pioneer. Then I move the clothes from the washer to the dryer and think better of it.
