Gardening: week 6

26 May:

Zucchini flowers!


 

Litchi tomato flower buds:


 30 May:

Baby bunny is back!  Watch him eat a dandelion!
   

Radishes: they're getting big!  I planted more where the previous seeds failed to germinate.  I also sowed the rest of the carrots.  I'm not sure what I was thinking when I left those carrot spaces empty...




Broccoli from Canadian Tire:

Carrots and radishes:

 

I brought all my plants outside for some fresh air and fading sunlight.  Hopefully they'll be ok overnight.  I put up a net to keep birds out; hope it works!

Zucchini blossoms:
 

Litchi tomato blossom, almost ready to open:

Left:  Purple coneflower seedling.
Right:  Mom likes to take gai lan (Chinese broccoli) stems and soak them in water.  They make flowers, which produce seed--though I don't think we've ever tried collecting and growing those seeds.  Maybe that'll be a future project!  I think the flowers are gorgeous.  Can you believe those are vegetables?
 

Salad boxes germinating:

I think this viola is so sweet:

Happy gardening!
