As some may know there's been some storms here lately hopefully we do get more rain
I'm also thinking of featuring one of my plants a week and trying to get as much info as I can about them posted most of the growing will be from my experience where the usage will be from research (I'm into Medicinals and the like) how's that sound? Eventually doing one a week I'll get into things I've never grown but I may find some cool plants as well out there I am likely to use wiki and my iplant app for info as well as whatever else if I question something or another
So on to the pics?
My corn --it's doing so much better then I expected it to do! I actually think I will get a harvest from it this year!
More corn you can also see my windowbox and the climbing loofah that the watermelon is blooming (if you look carefully) and the side of my goji pot
There's more the windowbox (some corn and possibly a little loofah)
That windowbox has (no order) sage Thai basil purple basil catnip lemon catnip catgrass lemon verabena garlic (growing as chives) chives lemon thyme stevia orange thyme BBQ rosemary parsley cilantro rosemary chocolate mint Greek oregano possibly more? In it
My goji and my tropical pots yes there's rosemary and basil in the goji it appears the corsican mint that's a full sun plant seriously hates the goji pot so I'm using it to root whatever will root in it I'll get the mint from a more reliable place next year unless someone has seeds or an established cutting they can send me?
The cauldron and yes the orange thyme isn't going that well but some is alive yes too I did pull the lemon verabena because it didn't look like it was doing that well so I decided to try to get new cuttings rooted not far from momma hoping that will help and then I can move them to the cauldron
Strangely tho the corsican mint I put in here is actually doing half way decently --it's still dying but it's going slowly enough that I think it might actually come back and live
The start of my 2 varieties of holy basil and lemon grass plants of which some will be moved into the cauldron
The onions yes I cut the tops offa some I'm hoping that will get them to send out better stalks one of the bulbs was squishy and full of maggots tho! (or something that looked like maggots)
Yes there's water in that and some outher pots some drain pretty slowly because there right on the ground and only have a single hole
Rasberry blueberry baby and geraniums I think they are lol
Strawberries mostly petunias and roses
Lettuce and some flowers about all I know anymore is there's cotton and broom corn in there
Peppers flowers and tomatoes
Tomatoes and flowers
Flowers tons of carrots and some peppers are hidden in there
Half-sharp apple pepper and it's first fruit starting to grow
More flowers --there's a celosia hiding some snappers and a marigold all that came back from last year then there's also poppies and some outher stuff lol
My mint pot that's about a 14" pot (it's a little larger then the 12" that I have the corn in) you can clearly see 5 types if you look closely you can see all 6 (the chocolate is hard to find) it is due in for a major trim but because they are blooming I can't trim them just yet as I wanna try saving some seeds this is why they say to contain mint --I once had only 4 plants in a pot about the size the blueberry is in 2 chocolate and 2 orange and they looked easily as bad as these 6 seperate types do in here! I personally love mint and I knew going in that they would overtake --did I think it would get this bad? Possibly on some level but I wasn't aware of it will that stop me from growing mint again? No way will it! Plus the strains vary slightly from year to year one year my chocolate mint looked a little more like spearmint last year the mojito mint had no signs of runners (the first time I'd ever seen that in a mint) this year there were signs there would be runners
