A Lazy Day
I spent the day tending to my seedlings. The tomato seedlings were getting large and crowding one another, so I put them into bigger foam cups so they can continue to establish their roots before being transplanted outdoors.
My eggplant seedlings began to form a very large leaf.
Keith spent the whole day trying to "fix" his leaf blower. He got it for $2 at a yard sale. I told him to just junk it. He's so stubborn.
My zuchinni and cucumber are beginning to germinate. Okra takes 2 weeks but I figure it could use some warmth.
I was ready to chuck the bell pepper and start over, but suddenly with the warmer weather I noticed 10 new seeds beginning to germinate. (I transplanted some basil here)
I moved my basil around to give them more room for growth. They should be 1 inch apart.
I began "dusting off" my grass that I dug up to put the soil back into the ground. My mom was right about the grass dying against the fence. I will leave them there to create a "wall" for my beds to raise up on.
I planted a tomato plant into the ground to see how well it does.
For dinner, Keith made me a Strawberry Shortcake. It's one of those TGIF mixers. It was good. I normally don't like drinks that contain dairy but this wasn't bad at all.
I made rice with saffron and onions (egyptian recipe) with grilled shrimp (with chopped tomatoes, red onions, cumin, s&p, and habernero sauce) and a piece of bbq chicken (in case we were still hungry).
