It's Only Thursday, Right?

In progress, but looking *much* better!
Whew! This garden overhaul/redo is taking a *lot* of time. A lot more even than it did to set it up in the first place. That's probably a testament to how well stuff grows down here. Or to my growing gardening ambition or something. Who knows, but that's the "garden" garden right now, with more to come. And not even counting the patio stuff that is still, well... chaos, as you see here...


But progress is being made, I swear! For example, here are the basil plants before...


...And after, ha ha! It's actually really hard to show them at the moment because they are in about a zillion little pots and glasses to root. The tiny plants that were growing from seeds are in little pots of dirt, though they seem to be doing well. 

The plant that was still growing has been shorn of what was growing and there are now a bunch of small cups of water to root. Mom's going to take some home when she goes, and then... I'll have more basil than I'll know what to do with. That's a good thing, right?

But here - take a look at these babies! Remember the poor pepper plants? Still growing peppers despite looking so forlorn?




Here they are in their new digs! (ha ha! Pun sort of intended.) The poor plants were so root bound, roots were growing out of the drainage holes in the bottom of the pots they were in. Mom and I hated to move them while they had peppers and blossoms on them, but it really was now or never. Keep your fingers crossed they continue to do well. They seem happier already...

Today is a day off! :D  We are headed to a Marlins game in a little while. But we'll be back at it tomorrow. We have more to plant and transplant, move and rearrange, clean up and organize, so that everything is easy to get to, and I can once again enjoy my patio for more than just watering plants, ha ha!

More as it happens!

:)
