Funny garden things.

Some of my tomatoes are trying to look like Davy Jones of Pirates of the Caribbean. Haha.

I’m trying out vertical pumpkin growing in my tiny spaces. But they got so heavy that I’m using my daughter’s old holey tights to keep them on the fence and not break the vine. The tights will grow with the pumpkin. We’ll see how it goes. The vine is strong enough for the small ones just hanging out right now but that first one is sooo heavy!

Summer harvest. It’s pickling time.

Sad sad seedlings. Potting soil matters when you seed start! I learned the hard way.

- The first image is of my seedlings around this time last year.
- The second image is of the potting soil I used.
- The third and fourth image is of my seedlings this year.
- The fifth image is of the soil I used this year.

All seedlings were planted roughly around the same time frame as last year’s planting and had the same light setup.

The only thing different was the soil and wow! My plants are so so puny this year! So so sad! I know what potting mix I’ll not be getting next year.
