Travel hopefully in life.

...as have roughly two of the Gerbera daisies. (Technically it's a half each of two separate Gerbera daisies, plus one smaller pot, but, semantics and what have you.)

Anyway I continue to be cursed with a black thumb for flowers even while the edible plants under my care seem to be doing very well indeed. Something (possibly the cucumber beetle I found on the smaller, completely dead Gerbera daisies) has been eating one of my lemon balms, too, which I don't appreciate. Here's a quick list update of everything I've got on the go at the moment:

( Back here because there's honestly a lot happening. )

Put out the bees last week and most of them hatched. Will have to stick my fingers around and check on the remaining cocoons but want to give them another day or two of warm weather to emerge. None of them have stayed, so far as I can tell, but I didn't really expect them to. One of them came for a buzz about my ears while I was tending to the plants today, which was nice.

I'm glad to have a hobby that gets me out of doors with my hands in the dirt again. If everything goes according to plan, I will have to actually start space planning my patio in preparation for full-grown plants. Berry bushes should arrive sometime this week. Package tracking has them on the 21st but things have been coming in earlier than expected so I live in hope.

Will come around with another, non-garden related update later, but this about all I have energy for at the moment. Ta!
