I’m sorry for missing last week, I was so in the thick of storm cleanup I genuinely forgot how days work. As an apology, here’s a picture of one of our cherries ready to pop for spring:

What’s growing on with you all?

    share the rest with you all

    Please do! I have it on good authority that it’s practically a jungle on a balcony and am excited to see it when you post it.

    Some of those pumpkins look very leggy for the stage of leaf development they’re at, are you using supplemental lights for them?

      Now who told you that! :D no supplemental lights being used, just natural sunlight from about 8AM to 6-7PM give or take. I’ll have to rearrange and move them closer to the end, there’s a spot that receives more direct light than where they were. Think they’re just needing more light?

      I really ought to just set up some sort of secured platform on the railing and get them out there during the day. Thinking that’s a weekend project after we go to the farmer’s market!

        A little birdy bee told me

        I think they would benefit from more light, yes. Many of the pumpkins we start tend to have true leaves come in while the cotyledons (starter leaves) are still within a few cm of the soil. I have to go through some photos later today and I’ll see if I can find a picture of our last set of starts for you

          That would be great, thank you! I just moved them to a better spot so hopefully they get the light they need. I’ll report back with results!
