Today, I donated most of our remaining herbs and flowers to World Peas for their Pick Your Own herb and flower garden. The person who came to pick them was driving a Prius, and she'd already picked up three flats of flowers from another donor, so we had quite a time trying to cram everything in. As it was, we missed three little paper sets of various species of basil, a few Mexican oregano, and absolutely all of the cilantro. Still, all the marigolds, zinnias, and sage are gone, along with the mature basil. Between that, the Harborlight sale, and delivering all but the very last of my orders, I have space - blessed, blessed space - in the greenhouse again, and I've been slowly refilling it with larger pots: peppers, squash, melons, and lots and lots of tomatoes.
I am somewhat hampered by the fact that all my compost is thoroughly waterlogged by the recent downpours - my own fault for leaving it out in the wheelbarrow and an uncovered bin. Then again, if you have rain, make compost tea. I have gallons of it now and have been happily feeding it to all the seedlings. My rain barrels runneth over. Also a happy consequence of the rain: the Rose Finn potatoes finally sprouted! Tomorrow, I'll start burying them again.
