(Have Lady Gaga - Poker Face running through my head)
Finally a weekend where, as far as I know, I have nothing I have to do. Yay! I plan to plant my pepper babies. I have bell, poblano, jalapeno and cayenne seedlings. I will also make my herb window box garden. I may need to replace some of my green bean plants/seedlings. They're coming up small or with warped leaves. Not sure what would cause that. The purple green beans I planted are growing like gangbusters. The green, not so much.
We've had rain every day this week (since last Friday). Everything looks like it's growing well, but I think the soil might need a chance to dry a little bit. The lettuces are growing really well, but as usual I dropped too many seeds and now need to do some major thinning. They're supposed to be 6 inches apart. Mine are more like 6 plants in every inch. Thinning is fun tho, as I eat the plants I pull up. They're small but they have so much flavor and are quite good. If you grow nothing else, I highly recommend growing your own lettuce. You won't believe the difference from grocery store greens, even organic field greens. Fresh from the earth cannot be beaten.
Off for coffee. I do hope to post garden pictures this weekend.
