seedlings for week 4...

Photobucket


so my squash are gigantic and leggy - the stems are getting pretty long. mental note - you don't need to plant squash seeds 6 weeks ahead. anyway they are going need to be re-potted pretty soon - either into another large pot or into the ground. but it might be too cold for that this soon...

my beans and pea plant are also really tall and are ready to be re-potted too. so i need to figure out what to do with them. i went and bought two long planters about 3 feet long and 6 inches deep. one for the peas and one for the purple green beans. and i replanted them and put one on either side of my balcony...

alot of our house plants were in dire need of larger residences. we put a huge jade plant into a much larger container. we repotted a basil and a thyme plant i got at lowes into to little pots...

our big umbrella plant was put into a 16 inch square pot. we replanted a big rosemary plant i got at the winter farmer's market into a hanging basket...

and i planted all my snap pea seedlings into a long box planter because they were getting so big. i need to get another long planter for my green beans this week...
