We ate the little alpine strawberry 2 days ago. Thomas has the pictures right now, the bite was so tiny I have no idea how it was, but the seascape strawberries keep putting out more and more flowers. I've clipped all but one developing strawberry per plants.
Blueberries seem to take forever to develop. They've had flowers since I bought them back in Feb? Jan? and then the fruit has been there since late feb/early march, I have a picture from 3/7 of them developing and they look... about the same. The sunshine blue is not putting out fruit as nicely as the bountiful blue but we shall see. The fruit is still green with a "blush" facing the direction of the sun.
All the sprouts seem to been towards the ends of the long box, I wonder if I washed all the lettuces over towards the outside of the box when I first watered. The baby sprouts are teeny tiny.
It is raining this week! Saves me the work of watering.
I want more pots so I can plant more babies. Did I mention already? I started a basil pot and a Mexican miniature watermelon plant (cucumbers) last...Friday or Tues, nothing yet.

Plants Day 13
The single baby strawberry is getting redder! I think I will get to it it soon.
IT looks like the thyme and some of the lettuces have started sprouting.
I started some basil and mini watermelon seeds today.
The blueberries on the bountiful blue are developing well, but on the sunshine blue they are little and shrivelly, I am trying more waterings as a remedy.
I plucked off more strawberry flowers today, sadness.
Going through my seeds just makes me want to grow more stuff, I think I need to buy more pots.

Plants Day 4
No notice of changes yet.
I plucked most of the flowers off the strawberries because I read that it's better to have them put down strong healthy roots first... poor flower babies ;_;
The celery has begun pushing out stalks! I cut a grocery celery for eating and placed the rest of it in water.
Kiara's catnip has also sprouted in her grass basket, she eats the grass too quick for it to grow.

Plantings
I repotted 6 seascape strawberries and a peppermint plant today.
In box two I've scattered seeds for Marigolds on the outside, thyme beside them, and mesclun salad mix in the center.
I also flowered bombed some california poppies and snapdragons and hollyhock in the left corner of the backyard. Let's see how long they take.
