Today I went into town to get all of my tomato, capsicum and chilli seedlings.
I got four tomatoes (two money makers, a roma and a cherry tomato). I'm hoping my roma tomato does better then the one I had last year. I'm not sure why but the tomatoes it produced were very small, smaller then what I have had before for a roma tomato.
It was interesting though at the nursery as a bird had nested amongst the tomato seedlings, the store had a sign to make sure people didn't harm the mum and her babies. I talked to one of the staff members, apparently now the chicks are bigger, the parents have started to dive at customer heads now. I was lucky that didn't happen to me though.
I got three chillies varieties and four capsium varieties, of which two are the mini capsicums so I can take them for lunches for work.
I also ended up getting some lettuce, flower, spring onion, and catnip seedlings. And some tomato mix for my tomato pots.
I have placed most of these seedlings under my vegepod so they can get a bit bigger until I plant them out in a coulle of weeks time. I have made sure that I have put snail bait around the plants as I hadn't with my basil beforehand and the snails got it so I will have to get some more tomorrow.
Jazz was very interested with the catnip and catmint I was potting up today and was able to grab some as I was taking a photo of it. Lets just say that I have hidden this pot until the plants get bigger, this was after Jazz growled and scratched me when I took it away from him.
I have the next three days off, which I plan to spend in the garden getting it ready. I love having these nice sunny days, I was able to wear shorts which I haven't done so since the beginning of the year :)
