My Garden

I planted the lettuces in the bigger planter that once contained the bromeliad. I'm not even sure if it was the bromeliad but the lettuce plants fit perfectly. It will grow into a head so hopefully there is plenty of room. And right in the center I replanted the chives. I replanted one of the swiss chard into a matching planter that the other one was in. Looks perfect. And planted the snow peas into the larger container. Snow peas need to be space 8" apart and the container allows that. I was planning to put them into the ground but it would had taken time to create raised beds. Easier the better. I moved the succulents in pots to the side yard so that I can put the lights into them. At light it gets pitch black along the side and hopefully these lights will lightened up that area.  

I purchased three new plants from Davis Lumber. Lantana, Potato Vine and Scaevola Bondi. The Lantana and the potato vine were planted in the front. The Scaevola Bondi might be in a container in the back. Scaevola Bondi Blue Sweet Potato Vine Lantana Lantana near the blueberry bush Sweet Potato Vine near the plum tree that's been cut down Also cut back the Santa Barbara daisies. And placed the nude figures sculptures where there is no plants underneath the birch tree.

It took two washes before I was able to get rid of the ashes.  Finally clear out the sun gold tomatoes. I had planted 6 plants and they had all produced nicely. What I had pulled out were mostly greenery, very few good shaped tomatoes, most though had been ashes all over them. My fingers covered with ashes from clearing out the tomatoes.

Just planted dill and spearmint in pots. Purchased from Davis Lumber - 4" pots.  Other winter plants, swiss chard and chives and green onions. They survived the heavy smoke that was in the valley for days.     The mandarin orange tree now has fruits but green. But also some sort of fungus, maybe caused by the ashes? Eureka lemon tree also has green fruit.
