The lettuce are doing remarkably well. We are still (!) able to harvest daily. The second wave lettuce seeds are trying to sprout. They grew 1 cm leaves, and stopped.
The Pea Knights have set their pods. It looks like each vine will produce about two pods. This is not a spectacular yield. Then again, they are trying to grow in a window box. The larger peas are also blossoming and setting pods. Their average (so far) is three blossoms per vine, with hopefully all being pollinated and developing. These vines are not quite to the three foot high mark, so it's just as well we didn't staple the trellis all the way up. I'm sure we would have infuriated more than one bird with it.
In other window box news, some of the bean plants are not doing well at all. They've gone from green, to yellow-green, to pale yellow. Definitely not happy. Perhaps their roots are too hot? Too dry? The other beans right beside them are happy, though. I am perplexed.
The raised bed is performing quite well. The tomato plants have lots of blossoms and a few green tomatoes. The cabbages, broccoli and cauliflower are growing well, and the beans are recovering from what ever was eating the leaves.
The oregano is continuing its path of garden domination.
