The ones I have to plant

Wow I'm doing this hours later lol (I'm now waiting till "time" to go into my job lol) so let's just call this a pic spam of what I got ok? Ready? Set! 

Edit: adding in names/info as I was *really* in a hurry to type this up before work 

2 types of red lettuce (look like leaf I think ones romaine) I personally prefer red lettuce to green

BBQ rosemary - bay - sage punch - stevia - creeping thyme - lemon thyme

Pistu basil (maby boxwood small/compact) - lettuce leaf basil - lemon verabena (was incorrectly tagged but I know my plants) - Thai basil - chocolate mint - bay leaf

Apple mint - Corsican mint - Valentino basil - basil mint honeydew - mint mojito - rosemary honey lemonade - stevia - cinnamon basil juice 

Oregano --from Craigslist they said it was too invasive and they thought it was a plain oregano 

Garlic as garlic chives --this is what survived the winter in there (so I'm gonna change it for peat miss this year) 

Top citronella left peppermint right sweetmint

Tricolour sage - mint julep - grapefruit mint 

My moms salsa garden (there's buds starting all over!) 

I really need to finish planting that don't I? 

The strawberries that I don't 100% know if there coming back or not (my guess now is not) 

The mint planter that I have to squeeze a TON more mint into 

I think snappers may be coming back now --looked like possible basil *this* is why I wait till June! 

The tomatoes (and peppers) look carefully and you'll see buds on some of these plants! 

Raspberry appears to be doing well ATM! No flowers yet but soon I hope! 

Blueberry not looking too well hopefully it will get leaves soon (it will bend so that's good!) 

So as y'all can see I have plenty more to plant lol I also have flower buds starting to form! And my blueberrys don't look to well lol I think they'll be ok tho (I hope) I'm also trying a new way to root aka in wet sand we will see how that goes I do need to learn to tell perfectly wet too wet and too dry lol it's all the best sand I could find for the money! Lol (beach sand unbanked from a local beach) 

Any questions about anything please ask (I may or may not edit to name everything if I do will be within the night) 

Did edit lol --and have yet to see how the bay is doing today should see soon lol 

Too many plants!

And to think I'm not done buying plants yet! But I have most of them atleast for now lol all that's left are the fruits I also have some older pics too fer y'all 

Well as I no longer recall which are the ones lol here's an older pic --it's just our tulips 

And here are some pics of our plants as of eirlighter --the big has sweet mint and is flooded the small looked like it had something I wanted growing on it so I'm waiting to see lol 

My moms salsa garden and my zucchini 

Zuichinni and the start of my windowbox! (Reg and lemon catnip Egyptian onions lemon balm pineapple sage lemon grass and tomatillos) 

Stuff that's left to plant as of this morning (mints lol oregano flowers and citronella) 

Here's that container I plan on giving my coworker like I said no drainage and kinda wiskeybarrel look to it too 

Tomatoes and peppers 

More tomatoes and peppers 

There's what's left of my winter/solstice sewing experiment it wasn't as much a success as I had expected it to be some of those I think are stinging nettle (a weed) so we will see some are what I planted too again we will see in time no less I atleast wanna wait till there good plants (atleast a few leaves am prolly ok on the fruit trees ATM 

And here's AFTER my purchases today! I didn't need that much of anything AT ALL! But one place had a sale plus buy 3 get 1 free and the outher had basil about half off so I would like to think I did some good buying? All that's left are 2-3 more things plus my fruits 

Then just for the fun of it here's 2 pictures of the puppy jennel if you look closely you'll see the leash I made her I hope she gets better with my gardening stuff we will see 

I'll be sure to post pics when I have everyone planted! (Or most of them lol) 

Couple new pots and a little challenge

So Aldis has had topsy-turvy type planters for 5 bucks each I have yet to take a super good look at mine I just got 2 tomato and herb ones I also have 2 pure topsy turvy from the dollar store as well and I do intend to use them all this year as well one I think I'll put coyote tomatoes in the rest I don't yet know I might try goji or who knows? As a crazy experiment lol 

I also found a planter that I can use to make something nice for my co-worker ATM I'm thinking a mini starter herb garden so I'll prolly have stuff about that too till I give it to her (the pot was a quarter the dirt I get ultra cheap and most of the plants I'll be rooting cuttings of in the good dirt before moving over there may try some in there too --so in that case the only cost to me is time which I can deal with to help her out) 

It's loosely like a whiskey barrel "type" thing but a LOT smaller and ill need to add drainage or work something out so it don't get too much or little water 

So ATM I've gotta get up at 4:30 so I can be to work at 6 am! I warned one person I'm not a morning person so I hope everything goes ok the coworker of mine to do this said its busy but its steady too so hopefully it's not too bad for me we will see I just hope there aren't many kids meals ordered because I'm from 3rd and sence valentines day (when I started) I can count the number of kids meals I personally have made on one hand: 0 yes that is a zero lol I know how to make most of the rest of the menu that we have ok tho so that will help lol 

Well wish me luck! 

Some planted

Ok so sence I have to get some sleep before work I'm mostly gonna post pics ill get tags with in another post later (once were closer to done planting everything) I know I still have plenty more to buy tho and its also very early yet to be planting (around June 4 my average which is my birthday) also our puppy broke a clay pot luckily not a planted one but its still annoying I think 

So right now we have tomatoes peppers zucchini and even my moms Mother's Day gift planted (a salsa garden) I have to finish my window box and get a couple fruits and that I'm even starting to debate switching from clay to plastic for some pots just cause the puppy who is afraid of water may break them (and they can break by themselves) 

So on to the pics? Again if you wanna know what anything is just ask (describe what pic/pot/where it is or that) 

This is different for this app! 

Ok so this is just an example of what I look for #1 is the top that its bushy and not too leggy or that (this ones a tad leggy) and roots I actually like a little rootbound about like this I wouldn't go much further tho 

Another plant but that's what happens when you shake the rootball it looks nice and loose 

There's the container the puppy broke! As you can see no chance for repair we also got a hanging basket to have that strawberry in that it needs to get moved over but I can only think of one way and I need a board (flip on top then dump into new pot) 

Ok so here is the mint pot (no signs of anyone coming back but still early so if they do they have a chance still) ATM thats sweet mint but I was gonna get chocolate orange mojito ky colonel grapefruit and whatever else I can (apple too maby hopefully more too) I am a mint ADDICT! And I'll admit it! But it gets tight with just one pot (also we may add drainage to this pot this year) 

Here is my moms Mother's Day gift (we talked about it and this is what we agreed on) it's a salsa garden there's 3 tomato plants 3 peppers 2 tomatillos and 2 herbs (dill and cilantro but I think she was thinking dill was rosemary or chives or "something else" lol) 

Here is my zucchini and my windowbox the zucchini is so I can make relish (oh I LOVE the stuff! Way better then anything in any store if you ask me! And a batch can last a couple years!) then it looks like my catnip plants will be back (still a little early yet) so I left them alone as much as I could but there are 5 tomatillos (1 pack had 2 another had 3) some lemon balm lemon grass pineapple sage and walking onions it's not even half full yet I plan on getting some rosemary maby another sage some lemon verabena possibly (just cause I like it lol) basil and who knows? Lol 

The cauldron with garlic as chives oregano (in the bag from Craigslist) and moms flowers that I think I paid for for her! But meh she got the pot and dirt 

As I've said it's early! But I think I have some basil coming up so I'm just leaving that alone long enough that I can see yes or no 

Tomatoes (ill name them later) 

Peppers --I'll name later but this pot has a jab and a couple outhers I "mixed up" a pack and used it in here 

More tomatoes! Naming later 

Peppers! Naming later 

Tomatoes (naming later) 

My everbearing heritage raspberry in the same pot it was in last year (thinking it would benifit a larger and plastic pot) I'm also thinking I want a yellow raspberry too this year 

Here is my blueberry --I'm thinking ill buy 1-2 more this year including a pink one as well 

And that's what's happened with my winter sewing attempt clearly I failed pretty badly but atleast something's coming up with some of them! So time will tell on them like what they are and that ill prolly have them in for winter but will see 

Well I need to crash as I have to work tonight --will see how things go and don't hesitate to ask questions or that 

First plant purchase of 2013!

As some of you may know I typically don't buy/plant till the first week of June (I've been wearing a halter and hot in that these last few days) even tho I'm in zone 5

My raspberries are definitely coming back my blueberry plant looks like it will as does my strawberry plants look like they too will come back

So the first pic (as I see I have no clue how they'll post on this app) is the purchase and already my mom wants to overtake *my* pots! With her stupid flowers I'm glad she will be eating her geraniums when she can't afford food! And I'll have plenty to eat because I'll have gotten FOOD!

Ok so there's way too many geraniums in there there's also a free wave petunia in there I have no clue the colour

Then the FOOD is (in no order) habanero hole mole hot banana sweet cherry pepperchini big Bertha chocolate beauty (peppers) tomatillo (it was included and I wanted to grow it!) then old German purple Cherokee hillbilly brandywine fanstatic mr stripey mountain fresh mountain spring healthkick (tomatoes)

Yes there are a couple hybrids in there and I'm prolly still gonna be buying more! Certainly have to get my herbs still! Lol so I don't yet know what I'll be doing for spacing or that I think I may sell some of the plants to my uncle tho when it's closer to planting time I just hope like hell they don't die before then lol

I also still have some fruits to buy and I think my winter sewing experiment may have failed tho I have no clue why maby a bad winter? Maby the bottles were sitting in too much water? Who knows? I'll let them stay like that till June tho (and I'll get pics another time)

The other 2 pics are millaegers planters that I really liked and wanted to buy like right now lol I may draw inspiration from them later when I plant everything

What a night! And some good news!

So lets start with the night I'm expecting worse tonight so I have no clue why I'm even awake ATM but I am --I work 3rd at a resturant that does get bar rush and its MAD! Well fri and sat and I had my first large group which wasn't just 6 the limit I've done 5 before nope it was 9! That was something! The cook aka boss (well assistant manager but details) can really scramble her eggs and I felt like those eggs! Even before the reinforcement came to help by break I NEEDED my break! And the video will show I'm fairly worn out at times but I try to continue on no less!

And I'm expecting WORSE tonight!

So ATM my priorities are pay car then get the htc virgin droid (that had I gone sooner I could have gotten the purple one at 179 now a newer is black and 300 I nearly wanna wait see if another colour don't come out but I've been waiting so long anyway) then maby start looking into classes and planning my garden and sign up for one eighter a base one or something that will get me cooking

So the good news? My rasberries and blueberries are definitely coming back! I only had one blueberry plant tho so ill need to buy atleast one more with pit and dirt and I wanna get a yellow raspberry and a pink blueberry plant as well as a white strawberry plant (no sign if those survived if not ill buy more nothing more then June and everbearing there) I also have yet to see if my mints or much else comes back but I think my cat nips will be back

Ill still have plenty to buy more because I started 0 seeds between the bugs and getting the job but maby ill start some next year? --well no I have the winter sewn but not looked at that stuff lately or at all lol so I can only hope some is alive

Well wish me luck! Ill likely dump a weeks pay or 2 weeks pay into the garden this year but if I buy its all my stuff as it is moms allready tryied her "we agreed every outher year" crap when she can't do shit with the beds she has! If stuff comes back that's fine cause its free but if it dosent then she can't have it if I'm buying unless one MORE pot is hers! (There's allready a couple that are all hers perennial flowers I won't touch them) and I call it crap because it is last year was HALF flowers (just look at the pictures!) and the year before ALL flowers! (That's on the livejournal still tons of pics there too!) so it's not like she gets 0 flowers she has the beds and she still wants *my* containers? Ill have to figure when to water with my work schedule and when to plant and that too but ill have plenty to eat may even take baskets in to my 2 coworkers on weekends or the sort lol I suspect they may like that! Or I could make an herb pot thing mini for inside I have plenty of water beads lol will see but ill prolly be bringing stuff in for them maby 2nd and 1st too?

I know ill need to buy even more pots likely too but I only ever use the clay and yup they do stay out all winter and most of the time no they don't crack unless there too small or something oh and I have to go to that place I don't shop to get a couple herbs as well as possibly another couple garden centres but most will be from millaegers as it allways is! (I love them and working across the street from them kinda annoyies me there not open when I'm up/off lol but ill know about the tent sale and that quickly!)
