Planted and Fertilized at home
Ah! Spring is definitely here, and I've go the bug! I spent almost the whole day in the garden, after starting the morning at Zumba. I pulled out some old veggies and gathered fennel and basil seeds before planting. I put in basil, dill, and chive seeds. Plus I had starts of Celebrity Tomatoes that I planted, which are VFNT resistant. If anything can survive my diseased home garden beds, they seem the most likely candidates. They went in the North and West beds. I hope they at least taste decent. Also, I planted marigolds (for looks and to discourage nematodes), snapdragons, and celosia. The latter I've never grown before. The flowers went in North, West and South beds, plus pots. DH harvested the worm bin and put the castings in the North and West beds. Finally I gave a very thorough fish fertilizing to the Carrotwood tree and the hedge on the North side of the house that I'm hoping will pep them up, along with the deep watering they've been getting.
