I would like a place I can talk about the random happenings in my garden that don't justify a stand alone post. Exciting things like my tomato plant finally growing, or the sadness that my snow peas seem to be dying off prematurely.

Would anyone else like to share their gardening snippits? If there is enough interest I can set up a regularly weekly thread (@[email protected] I presume that will be ok?)

Pic is just for interest - this is the collection of gardening pictures I put together to illustrate my garden design goals for a recent assignment.

The carrots are taller and bushing up but haven’t started thickening too much yet. A couple of tiny ones looked damped off?

No 😨

I’m just going to let them do their thing with periodic waters and they should be fine. But I’m going to have to thin them a lot so with the small container I won’t get many

Edit: What I’ve done different this time is used self watering pots with bottom reservoirs (in rainy weather), and also used heirloom seeds instead of F1 hybrids. Both of those could be contributing to suddenly having fungal issues this time around
