I forgot to mention that I thinned the cool box on the rooftop last week and they seem pretty happy. I finally had to call the outside zucchini dead and I dug it up and added it to the compost bin. Sad. But a good learning - the outdoors is a harsh place. It will be time to transplant some of these indoors guys outdoors soon and I worry that I will just be sending them to their death.
This past Thursday I put some organic fertilizer in the large basil pot, the zucchini, and the plants in the round pan with the exception of the chile because I have no faith that it will get much bigger than it is at the moment. I put in less than the box recommended and it still seemed like a lot. I have watered it in and hope that it is not going to hurt anyone. So far, I think it's ok though some of the zucchini leaves look kinda funny.
Indoor plants are flourishing! Zucchini is enormous (and now propped up with a ruler on one side because it started falling over in a not good way) and the strawberries and bean are also looking extremely voluptuous, in a plant sort of way.
The bean - still bent on apartment domination:
Two of the basil transplants doing very well! Check out the spearmint on the left - a slow start but it is turning into a nice little scrubby-looking dude.
The tomato plants have really grown
Outdoor box: looking good!
Eric was very saintly in his support of re-building the cover for the warm box in anticipation of putting some of these seedlings out there and not just slaughtering them. It was pretty frustrating because it is sooooo windy up there. But we got it done, and will see about putting some of these seedlings out in the next week!
