I got my first set of snow peas a week ago.
Started some new SIP containers. the two on the left are Gardenia jasminoides (the common ones) and the right one is Verbascum. I might turn one of the gardenia into a bonsai, not sure yet. I'm gonna see how they turn out. They've been very slow to grow...
I've also found something i've done wrong with the SIP containers - make sure that the holes you make for drains are sufficiently big enough to let water pass back out. i thought mine were big enough originally but they were not. I lost my 3rd gardenia plant like that, and i'm betting its the reason one is so spindle-y.
if you look at this one full size you can see how well everything is decomposing and turning to compost. Pretty happy about getting to plant veggies in it.
The tomatoes are growing so slow. The only ones that have ever shown any color are the sweet 100s. Sigh... I don't think that i'll be planting them again next fall season, and if i do than i'll have to get them into the ground much much earlier than i did this time. I think it was a good learning experience though. I'm gonna leave them out to see what they do
