So I got a bunch more photo's from Monday. The quality isn't the best, maybe over the weekend when I have more time I'll be able to get better pictures and probably more flourishing plants... or drowned ones, not sure which >.<

so to start... my poor dying jalepeno plant.... I'm hoping the rain revives it a bit :(

Next is my Basil, I know i will have to thin it out... I could have swore I put it in the middle of the pot and not all pushed together lol but yeah somehow it came out that way O.O;

2014-06-23152924_zps99c0029e.jpg


Next up is my Cilantro.... yes these aren't doing so well either. Transplanting did not do well for this or my jalepeno >.<

2014-06-23152929_zps9c13f5cc.jpg


I did get a new addition. Strawberries!!! which will be transplanted soon into a big pot and stay there. I won't get fruit till next year but hey It should be worth the wait!!!

2014-06-23152937_zps1adfb707.jpg


My Stevia is actually doing very very well, which is making me happy, I even had a small taste and yum lol.

2014-06-23152942_zpscf72ed4f.jpg


My broccoli is doing far better than I anticipated that it would! Omg it's my best growing plant next to the cucumbers!

2014-06-23152956_zps8f8c321b.jpg



I am not 100% sure, but I THINK this is squash lol. It's the only one and I know I planted at least four >.<. I think something happened to the others or i'm just delusional lol.

2014-06-23153056_zps512f5eb5.jpg


another I'm not certain but this MIGHT be turnips? Not sure.... if so they are my only ones as well lol.... (yes I planted right in the ground rather than started in a seed kit. >.<)


2014-06-23153124_zpsb29f7fff.jpg


And my more prolific plant.... Cucumbers. I had great sucess last year and can't wait to harvest this year :D

2014-06-23153138_zps2610a25d.jpg


Tomato plant!

2014-06-23153148_zpsc943b2cb.jpg


Those are the plants outdoors, now my indoor ones. Which are smaller, but no less better :)

A few little Aloe Vera
2014-06-25181953_zps53d2d64e.jpg


Chives! They will be transplanted later on this year when I can get soil for my big huge tire!

2014-06-25180714_zpscb510d1c.jpg


Now the hard part. I didn't mark them for what they were when I planted them so from observation and lots of googling I'm guessing on 3 of these plants lol. This one i am sure is Rosemary if not it's thyme. Lol....

2014-06-25180643_zps7b6ac306.jpg


This one I am almost certain is Spearmint....

2014-06-25180633_zpsdfb2056d.jpg


Parsley for sure :)

2014-06-25180614_zps8fb9b571.jpg


Thyme.... or rosemary lol.

They look great. I don't think that one plant is a turnip plant. The coloring reminds me of okra plants when they are very young before the leaves develop the jagged edges. Did you plant any okra?

They all look so nice and pretty. It feels good to watch things grow.

Becky: Thanks! I have been, the Stevia and strawberries I can't take credit for growing up as seeds, lol and the Aloe seeds are so strange, thye are flat, and they have a thin skin covering of sorts and you don't bury them at all :O it was an interesting experience there!

Shelly: No I didn't plant any okra this year nor previous years... Honestly it could just be a weed tht grew in the spot I planted turnips lol... because it is my only "surviving" one lol. I'll find out soon enough I am sure :O I still have more turnip seeds so I can try again, since they should still do well this late in the season... I hope

You have been very busy. Your plants look good, soon you will be rewarded for all your hard work. It is a little late for me to get started, it has not been that warm in the evenings here, a few of my house plants that I put out have not done well at all.

Your plants look really great, Shawchert. I love these tiny Aloe Vera seedling, they're adorable! Also, your cucumbers are beautiful and very healthy. Personally, I've never had much luck with this vegetable, but I don't plan to give up anytime soon:)

Your plants look very good. Don't worry one bit about them, you seem to be doing everything right, its just now a matter now of letting them get the rest of the job done.

Stunted rosemary

2014-07-24170158_zps7d8f9162.jpg

Strawberries, in which I need to transplant once more lol

2014-07-24165424_zpsb9fa23eb.jpg


my stunted squash plant... the tomatoes kinda decided to take all the light until I moved it so it wasn't shaded

2014-07-24165417_zps0d47ad72.jpg


My basil (I learned about picking the leaves sooner rather than later XD)

2014-07-24165339_zpsa5e105b7.jpg


My cilantro actually lived too! I wasn't sure it would, but they survived :D

2014-07-24165332_zpse8044a80.jpg


and so did my jalepeno plants in which are starting to grow the most important part

2014-07-24165306_zps0fa409b8.jpg


My broccoli was not so lucky :( Here is what's left of it

2014-08-01215732_zpsb1be3315.jpg

they are in a pot now and inside because of deer... I set them outside as much as possible, but I doubt they will bear anything :(
