Where's my cow?

Is that my cow?

No it isn't, but it still tramples my bloody lavender.
I haven't gotten much done today other than put my trays of seedlings out into some sun but I harvested my first crop of windowsill pea shoots and wanted to post in the veg thread cause they tasted really good.

Oh hey have a copy pasted bit from my update to this thread I keep posting on about doing farm and woodland stuff




Back at home I cropped a peashoot and lettuce salad- the two peashoot boxes to the left are from pea seed that expired in 2015 and are taking longer to sprout properly, the ones to the right are from the bachelor's brand ones and despite having to cut away vines/creeper bits the leaves were lush and tasty



The outdoor salad is looking good- I added another row of lettuce seeds to each, and I'm going to do a row of peashoots too I think



The flowerbomb project is also seeing results and I think I need to learn to use less seeds because goddamn



The bean machines are getting warmed up



These are the outdoor germination experiment results so far- peas are through nicely and will be ready for a pea machine soon, and the backup beans can go somewhere I guess ukmt crew know where beans go



The pumpkins still desperately need replanting but lol I have to go buy soil, the honesty are doing great and also need repotting and somewhere in the middle keen eyes will spot a lone chilli seeding poking through



Got at least 3 strong seedlings each of the new varieties and at least 6 of my house standard, so when I get some more soil I'm about ready for tomato factory.



The remnant beans are looking a bit sad, but their companion marigolds are going well, and a few tomato twins have been transplanted into empty cells



Here's all the potted plants from the big purchase earlier in the year- doing grand despite the overgrown patio



Come a long way in a month or two from looking like the above



The black lace elderberry has gorgeous leaves, and the berberis flowers are very popular with the bees.

Neglected my snail patrols a few days and two of my beany boys got hit. Bringing up replacements to be ready, war is hell.

Going to try laying some cut bramble stems around the bases

With everything I have grown so far, if the new growth is healthy it's fine for now







Crossposting from my thread- the tomatoes looked like this



And even after some work they don't look all that much neater but it will do the trick. Tied them to the frames too. All 20 still alive, and in one patch there are a few strays coming through from last year's crop



Beans and peas doing great



As are both trays of the chilli peppers and peppers



The lavender seeds got forgotten about and ran very dry but most recovered well

I planted my tomatoes too close together and waited too long to start my windowsill peppers and chillies

And all the other stuff that died or got eaten by stuff that could have maybe gone better too


net work error posted:

Anyone doing their own composting itt?

When stuff dies and falls over and rots that's the same right?
