Update on container gardens

A quick update on the container gardens, we have been harvesting lettuce and mesclun weekly. Delicious! Another week or so and we can cut some watercress too. I sowed another big container of mesclun this morning. I wish I would have planted the potatoes deeper, I could have been filling in with soil as I do outside in the gardens. Next time. But for now, the plants are thriving and though the yield will be small, there will still be potatoes. The green beans have been flowering profusely, and I have been helping the bees that occasionally fly inside Kindred Spirits pollinate the flowers. I use a small clean artists brush and lightly brush each blossom. Zzzzz...Pollination! The beans are about 1.5 inches long, how cool. I show them off to everyone. Alot of the tomatoes have been sold as well as lots of herbs, even though its far too early to transplant yet. Mid May its still risky, most say wait till Memorial weekend, but you know how impatient we gardeners can be sometimes. Most people want to be sure they get their varieties and also to nurture living things.
