Sweet allysum is finally flourishing after I moved it to full sun. Daisy seems to be done while marigolds bloom on. Geranium is not doing a thing! I’m shocked since these have done well for me historically and are a plant I’m surprised to say does well here in general in cooler weather. Cosmos growing taller. Rosemary doing well in part sun and flowering. We harvest this pretty frequently. Avocado tree growing taller. Very rare dump truck shrub and trailing excavator plant flourishing in desert sand pit.I thought these were pansies but they’re Johnny jump ups, doing well as one of two “dog plants” in the dog run.The other “dog plant”, sweet allysum and snapdragons grown from seed.Raised bed on wheels containing tomatoes, carrots, radishes, cilantro, marigolds, sage, butter lettuce, and chives. The radishes are a bit crowded and I should have planned the tomatoes for the back of the planter because the herbs are getting too much shade now. Since tomatoes are of the nightshade variety, when these are done the plan is to wheel this out to the raised beds in the secret garden and dump it out, and then fill this planter up with fresh soil and plant more tomatoes in it. That way the soil nutrients will be more conducive to growing tomatoes. To my understanding you have to rotate them to guard against disease.Italian parsley just outside the dog run. My son played excavator with the soil and it got dumped out. He put it back and then with the cooler weather more of the seeds I planted started to grow!And, in the secret garden, the lettuce and spinach hasn’t really done a darn thing and what has grown is getting eaten by something. Back to the drawing board!Citrus have a temporary home in the secret garden. I have long since forgotten which are grapefruit and which are lemon.
