Hello again! First of all, I would like to thank my loyal viewers for looking at my nerdy plant blog. I shall invite you all over for a delicious stir fry when it’s time to harvest!
My Zucchini plant has more blooms:
Gorgeous!
And alright, I’m a liar. I said I didn’t care much for plants that were sheerly for ornamental value… but I was walking along the apartment complex and found geranium stem lying on the ground. I thought I’d give it a shot and put it into an old watering can. And it bloomed!
I may not be able to eat it but… it’s pretty. So I approve. No further questions. Next!
My sugar snap peas are blooming, too.
Aww!
My new thornless Blackberry bush:
Lots and lots of berries. Message to the squirrels of the complex: Keep your filthy, thieving, chubby rodent paws off! I am skilled in the fine art of manufacturing rubber band guns.
One, count em: ONE nectarine(s) on my tree. I wonder how many jars of jam I could make with this?
My soybean plants are so strong theyre breaking through the chicken wire. RAAAWWWWRRRR!!!!!!
Annnd my new pepper/herb/strawberry cage. The front is reinforced with metal chicken wire and the sides and back is reinforced with plastic chicken wire. That stupid evil squirrel could potentially chew through the plastic sides, so I sprayed it with stinky squirrel-be-gone stuff. Muahaha.
Last but not least: a wide shot of my entire deck.
Excessive? Maybe. Delicious? Oh yes.
…Till next time!

I too have become obessed with Gradening…I have a large yard, but I have found that container gardening is easiest. I live in FL, so growing things in the sandy soil…well, it doesn’t always take too well, even when you fortify it and add good qaulity soil…point is, I see that you have a blackberry bush in a container, I have ordered two thornless blackberry bushes from Spring Hill, but they won’t send them to me until Spring or late fall, once they arrive I would like to grow them in a large pot, I see yours is doing well, I also read on a soft fruit growing website that you should train the vine, as I see you are doing, to grow up a fence, trellis, etc to give it support. Keep me posted on how it does or how its doing. Thanks, Shell
