Using old CDs, I made some ornaments to (hopefully) scare birds away. Materials: CDs, red and black permanent markers, twine, metal wire (to make hooks, not shown). Hung some in apple tree, some in garden bed. Some circles were a bit off, so I made some different ones.
Video of ornaments:
Zucchinis on their way!
Nasturtium:
Butternut, Pumpkin:
Pumpkin vines: hopefully they take to the twine and follow it out of the bed.
Tomatoes: average height is 2'
Chamomile: I didn't realise chamomile grows this tall (about 18")! Oops.
Basil doing very well:
Tomato (or cherry tomato) flowers!
A friend was looking to get rid of some spearmint. I buried some stalks, and they're doing quite well! They can fight the irises for garden supremacy ;)
Spinach leaves are becoming strangely shaped. Maybe this is normal? They're pointy at the end and pointy at the bottoms. Am I a nerd if this reminds me of the Klingon emblem? Been harvesting "baby spinach" for salads.
Typical salad harvest: enough for a two-person meal-sized salad. I usually throw in some nasturtium and parsley leaves, too. If I had nasturtium flowers, I'd throw them in, too. And when basil leaves are big enough, I might make a herb salad!
