Recent plant activity


Two tomato plants are now growing fairly well in a south facing window, one is flowering.  For some reason they seem to enjoy the combination of cold drafts and hot steamy mornings.  The larger plant, with flowers, has been propped up with an old wooden spoon. 


Many peanut sprouts have been showing up because of a batch of undercooked penuts that were thrown away.  Obviously they were hardly cooked at all.  Few surived in the pot, many were deformed or damaged on germination.  This one finally moved past primary leaves and looks to be in decent shape.  Probably will need to be repotted soon.


The marigolds were cut down to soil level (and in some cases killed) to recover from a mite infestation.  They are beginning to recover, and flower.  The tropical weed plant that was just a few small cuttings last year, is also growing in this container as well as two aquarium tanks (yes it grows in humid air, soil, shallow water, and totally immersed).


Avacado plant!  At long last one of the pits germinated in the worm bin, and is now stewing under the plant light.  Hopefully this will be hardy enough to be moved outside in the summer.
