... Green things!

[evilhippo]

Goshdarnit, deathscytheheck, I just carried 40 pounds of dirt a mile uphill both ways yesterday and NOW I have to go get more!

Bestboxeveritmademydaythankyou ♥

Also, my foxglove sprouted today. I'm incredibly happy, because it's supposed to be planted at the end of the season so it can sit around an think for a while, I guess, so I didn't expect it to come up. But now I will sing bits of the Hazards of Love to it to make it happy.

I promise eventually all this garden-related spam will trickle off, once everything is outside and it becomes a chore to water the ridiculous number of plants I will no doubt have if all these seeds come up. Three kinds of beans, onions, peas, a billion types of tomatoes, various and sundry greens, beets, carrots, mint, lemon balm, basil, poppies, foxglove, sunflowers... ... I think maybe I have a problem. But I can quit planting things any time. Really.

By mid-summer, I think I'll invite everyone over for salad. Which I promise won't contain foxglove.

Edit: ... I wonder how my landlord would feel about a cranberry bog.

YAAAAAAAAAY! I'm so glad you liked it! I had way too much fun in the gift shop and the hippo had your name all over it. That pic is adorable! ♥
I'm really happy it cheered you up.

And never stop posting the garden spam, because I definitely won't and I need the company. PORCH GARDENS FTW! I demand pictures and updates. IT'S YOUR ELYSIA!
My greens are going crazy, it's kind of scary. I might have to make salad with some of them soon just to make some room.

You... realize those were cranberry BEANS, right? lol
(the seeds were good choices?)

Speaking of porch spam, I don't think I've seen any pictures of yours. You should fix this. (-;

I definitely dropped too many greens into one of my pots, so I'm going to be eating a lot of sprouts so other things have room to grow. Darn.

And yes, I know they were beans, but a cranberry bog out back just seems like the next logical step in things. ^_^ The seeds were excellent choices, but I am going to have to pawn tiny tomato plants off on so many people soon, or else risk drowning in them. Remind me next time I do this not to start things in small containers, because I managed not to transplant anything into my big pots and just planted new stuff instead.

By the way, did you find any hanging baskets? I'm having a super-hard time finding some that aren't wrought-iron-and-moss and expensive.

I really do need to picspam my garden all over LJ, I know.

I did the same thing, and I should really start weeding things out, but it's just so HARD. Grr.

Hahaha cranberry bog, if only. I think I have no less than twenty different tomato plants out there in different varieties and stages of growth. It's... ridiculous. I just couldn't do the culling. LE SIGH.

Um, I actually found some wire and coconut fiber ones for about... $3.99 each I think? Or was it $2.99? Idk. I also have a couple wrought iron ones with the coconut fiber that weren't too bad. I know I haven't spent more than ten bucks on one. And I have something like eight of them hanging out there. I also know that getting buckets and poking holes in the bottoms and hanging them on bits of Home Depot chain works just as well. I had to get chain, anyway, since they would have been too close to the rafters for sun if they weren't lowered.
