Finem

There! I think I'm finally caught up on all the yard work. Theoretically so long that my parents remember to water all the newly transplanted plants for one to two weeks everything should be set. For a while, at least. Not counting any seedlings I'll be putting in as the quarter goes along and (hopefully) everything germinates in order.

The plant photos will last a few more days, methinks:


My clump of strawberry that's actually three strawberries that didn't manage to spread out. They tried, you see, but the soil was so hard around that area that without preparation before hand they can't really put their roots down anywhere that didn't have roots growing already (to break up the soil for them).


Pink amaryllis plants at the corner of the plot with the sweet peas. These are the ones that came in a grocery bag during BIS 101 last year (spring quarter) when one of the girls brought them in to give them out for free. There were a bunch left at the end of the class so the girl told me to take two, and so I did and here they are!

The butterfly iris in the back is a seedling that's germinated from seeds scattered beside a parent plant at the side of the Starbucks that's by Ranch 99. The seedling was about two inches tall when I brought it home wrapped in a tissue. I've had it since junior high, I think, and it's finally big enough to start flowering either this year or next year.


Front-left: One lonely green onion left. The rest I pulled up and was used with the chicken, which was very good, by the way.
Rest: Garlic, result of the clove that I took home from last year, when Kate told me I can either throw it away or grow it.


My giant laundry detergent bucket full of...random plants. The thing up front (poking out of the side) with the lobed leaves is parsley. Italian parsley, I think. It is HUGE. There is this thing with me and giant plants, I think, with the dill, the radish-tree, and such.


Top of the sweet peas on their trellis. I wonder what will happen if they go over the fence (they are running out of trellis).
