Stopped by Home Depot last night, intending to pick up some more strawberry plants. One of the four I have now is flowering, but of course I want more, more, more!!!
I also needed to pick up something to cover the pot my radishes are growing in, a couple of days ago I found that something has been quite enjoying some of them - a few were missing and there was a big hole where the something had nuzzled around a bit in there. I suspect squirrels, but who knows? I've seen possums in the woods behind our house, and I guess if they can climb trees they could be out there partying on our back deck all night too. I was looking for some type of chicken wire but couldn't find it immediately so settled for some plastic netting instead. I covered the pot with it and moved it over by the back door, so that hopefully the dogs can scare off whatever critters are eating MY radishes!
Anyway... I found a couple of great additions for the tea garden - a chamomile plant and added a spearmint plant. The chamomile smelled so nice I almost just uprooted the whole thing to immediately dunk it in hot water. Oh! And I got the Camellia Sinensis plants a couple of weeks ago - you have to gradually acclimate them to the outdoors from the shipping packages, and now they're acclimated, I just have to plant them. They're really small though. Patience... patience. Not my strong suit.
In non-tea related news, I also picked up a lavender and another summer squash plant.
I'll try to remember to get some updated shots of the garden to post this weekend.
