The cilantro, which probably spent too much time indoors, seem a bit beaten by the strong breeze, so I've helped secure them with toothpicks and a wiretie. One of what I originally thought would be cilantro is probably going to turn out to be endive. Oops. That's what happens when seeds stick to your wet fingers. Sometimes you find them in unexpected places.
The brocolli seems to be having an especially hard time growing, or staying. It seems like the ones I ground sow aren't sprouting and the ones I gew indoors don't survive long outside. I'm not sure what's getting to them, but right now I have one, maybe two, of an originally panted 7, and that second one could die any moment. It's practically just a stalk. It was under the cup/bottle, so I'm not sure what got to it to eat the leaves, but something did.
Some of the kale has sprouted, and in some spots where I planted nothing has sprouted. I'm not sure why. I don't know if I should replant once a week until something does sprout.
I have planted all the pouches of my hanging garden with basil. I suspect I need to put my thyme and my oregano outside but I worry about whatever was digging in the garden getting to them. I still have some limited space in the garden proper for potted plants, so they might go there. I'm hoping the mint will be fine, though I'm wondering if, perhaps, I should put it on the chair.
The lettuce is coming up nicely, though some of my seedlings have taken on a particularly purple hue that I don't understand. Is this natural? I don't know.
I am also trying to make use of my remaining bird net. If I can use it to sequester off other parts of the garden, say, near the fence, it will be quite usefull.
Aside from that, I very much wish I was still on the no sweetner at all diet.
It was easier, and I felt better, to just turn everything down.
