The lettuce and peas are doing really well. Several leaves have been harvested from each of the lettuces, and none of the plants have died! Well, none yet, anyway.
The beans in the planter box are doing much better than the beans in the raised bed. I think it is the difference in rabbit access. Selma has a friend in the garden, too. The yet unnamed yellow cherry tomato plant was added on Saturday, along with some bell peppers. The garden centre was out of red, yellow and orange bell pepper varieties. They were running very low on green bell peppers, but we managed to find some. We also selected a new (to us) kind that claims it will ripen to purple. They had lots of those. I guess no one wants a deep purple pepper?
So, the Oregano Of Doom was hacked back (again) to make room for the tomato and a couple of marigolds. The girls took turns making holes, gently removing plants from pots, sticking them in the soil and covering them with soil. They were not allowed to water the plants. The watering-can is very heavy when full, and can be tricky for small(ish) hands to control. We could have given them each a smaller watering can (like the toys for the beach), but then they would have watered stuff that didn't require it. Like the driveway, sidewalk and each other.
