My dad bought additional plants (including tomatoes!) from the swap
meet a few weeks ago that have yet to be planted. I will plant them
sometime this weekend in Plot C. I didn't realize that each individual
herb would take up so much space, so I've decided not to plant flowers
in Plot C anymore in order to dedicate the area to herbs. My dad brought up the idea of planting flowers in some pots and putting them around the garden, so that's definitely an option!
The other day when I finished watering the plants, I encountered some more earwigs (and a spider!) among the lemongrass. I couldn't get a decent picture of one, but today I was able to. And on another note, I noticed how "hairy" some of the plants are getting.
I will make some sort of structure (perhaps out of bamboo sticks) so that the plants with tendrils can coil around something. The plants have been creative and have coiled their tendrils around some green onion and a plastic barrier. With no where to go, some of the tendrils have even formed a bundle.
Overall, the plants in the soil are looking good. They're much bigger than before and have been receiving plenty of water. I've also found plenty of gardening tips and ideas on
Pinterest that would better the garden, and Spring has brought a lot of sunshine with her. The garden is doing well!
