Quick update

Didn't plant the bell flowers. My jasmine plant arrived in the mail! It's not the vine type commonly seen around here, but a proper Arabian tea jasmine that I remember from when I was a kid. ...and yes, it did come in the mail because that type of jasmine isn't common to this region, so I had to order it online.

Jasminum sambac "Maid of Orleans" was planted in the pot of soil originally intended for bell flowers. I can't just stick it in the ground. It's a none native, so it'll more even more fragile than the stuff that normally grows around in this climate, and the soil in my backyard will probably kill it.

All the seeds have germinated, including all eight peas that I planted. I have a mutant pea. It's about the same size as the others except it has abnormally small leaves. The plant biologist in me wants to submit to a lab for genetic screening. The rest of me is more lax and will be content to let it grow and see how it turns out.

Weeded. Again.

Fed worm bin this afternoon. All my worms have NOT died, despite of what my mom kept on telling me. The roses have started blooming again, same with the calendulas, after my round of trimming. We've an orange rose and a pink one both blooming on the same bush right now, and it's very pretty to look at.
