Wow! These little seedlings arent so little anymore! This afternoon I will be moving some of the taller tomato seedlings into 6 inch pots. I'll be posting some pics as I transplant them, just like a proud new parent. I also got more seeds this morning, mostly herbs. I picked up other seeds as well, cilantro, purple basil (perfect for flavored vinegar!) more thyme, more green mammoth basil, and oregano.
Shh, I'll let you in on a little secret, I also have a few more tomato varieties started...Black Krim, Marglobe, Rutgers and San Marzano. I love San Marzano for dehydrating and then steeping in extra virgin olive oil.....yum yum yum! Marglobe I haven't grown yet, so this is new for me.
I also got some Watchman hollyhock seeds, they are deep dark purple that looks nearly black. They are flat out exceptional near pale buttery yellow hollyhocks.
I love the whole cottage romantic style of gardening. Flowers billowing everywhere, paths meandering and allowing me to slow down for a moment, fragrances wafting, to hear the birdsong and see butterflies enjoying themselves. Fresh veggies, herbs, containers of plants here and there, and a garden bench to sit on, glass of lemonade or wine to refresh. This, to me, is paradise.
