Yesterday I discovered a pot that had gotten moved to an unexpected location, full of what I thought was a "handful"of baby lavenders. After splitting them all into their own pots, I now have 45 baby lavenders. Whoops.

Our self-seeded salad beds are bumping along after some rains and cool days, and I think I'll get a few more rounds of harvests in before they start bolting. I'll have to redo my peppers though. This morning was spent cutting back some of the stuff in our area with living pathways to feed to the veggies, chop 'n drop style.

This afternoon I'm going to hide in the shade (supposed to get up to 90° F) and split out some mob pots with New Jersey Tea and passionfruit (P. incarnata) seedlings. We're a ways north of the passionfruit's native range, so these are more for experimentation than for sales.

What's growing on with you all?

I've been harvesting lots of kale, radish, and lettuce for salads. In hindsight I should have staggered my radish plantings a bit because they're all maturing at the same time - and some are getting quite spicy!

Miraculously the two blueberry bushes I planted last year which subsequently got chomped down to sticks have survived and leafed out, so I'm pleased about that. Also spotted a wild grape vine growing near by which I'm going to encourage.

The corn's starting to come up now, and it's that fun time of year where stuff starts just taking off.
