Yesterday I discovered a pot that had gotten moved to an unexpected location, full of what I thought was a "handful"of baby lavenders. After splitting them all into their own pots, I now have 45 baby lavenders. Whoops.

Our self-seeded salad beds are bumping along after some rains and cool days, and I think I'll get a few more rounds of harvests in before they start bolting. I'll have to redo my peppers though. This morning was spent cutting back some of the stuff in our area with living pathways to feed to the veggies, chop 'n drop style.

This afternoon I'm going to hide in the shade (supposed to get up to 90° F) and split out some mob pots with New Jersey Tea and passionfruit (P. incarnata) seedlings. We're a ways north of the passionfruit's native range, so these are more for experimentation than for sales.

What's growing on with you all?

I still haven't made the jump from "putting things in the ground" to "thriving garden" in this state—I wasn't made for the high desert! But my lettuce seeds are turning into lettuce seedlings, my pea vines are vining, and all of my cheap pansy annuals are thriving. I'm also seeing corn stalks come up, which is new and exciting. I just keep feeling like everything is slow and late for the season. I'm just glad to be out there in the dirt. Congratulations on your thriving lavender!!!
