An Upside Down Tomato Getting Comfortable
A Comparison Of Side Planted Basil Plants
The plant in the foreground looks like it will survive and maybe even thrive. The basil in the background is barely showing any life. I'm not sure what the difference is between the two plantings. I know that we have had a lot of rain recently so, it may be more surprising that the one plant is doing so well. Basil does not like to be wet all the time.
I still have not replaced the watering reservoirs in these upside down planters. I hope to get more 1 liter bottles to use soon.
The "New" Strawberry Pyramid Is Filled With Flowers
Here Is The Original Pyramid
This pyramid holds two different species of strawberry, one is a June bearer and one an everbearer. I am not impressed with the vigor of either these plants. I hope the plants in the other pyramid (given to me thru Freecycle) live up to my expectations. So I can replant both pyramids with the same fruit.
I hope to build a new "cage" for the "new" pyuramid soon and I will explain the process and take photo's along the build so that others can see how I make a cage.
It seems a gardener's work is never finished. Once these finish their fruit they will send out runners. I plan to catch those and transplant some of them others, I plan to give away on Freecycle. Then, I need to renovate the pyramids. They need to have some dirt replaced, some food, and maybe some pruning later in the season.
