Yesterday I discovered a pot that had gotten moved to an unexpected location, full of what I thought was a "handful"of baby lavenders. After splitting them all into their own pots, I now have 45 baby lavenders. Whoops.

Our self-seeded salad beds are bumping along after some rains and cool days, and I think I'll get a few more rounds of harvests in before they start bolting. I'll have to redo my peppers though. This morning was spent cutting back some of the stuff in our area with living pathways to feed to the veggies, chop 'n drop style.

This afternoon I'm going to hide in the shade (supposed to get up to 90° F) and split out some mob pots with New Jersey Tea and passionfruit (P. incarnata) seedlings. We're a ways north of the passionfruit's native range, so these are more for experimentation than for sales.

What's growing on with you all?

Shoet story on the blueberries is that they are two sprouts I bought last year and planted in my yard. They don't appear to have grown much, but also are still mostly green. Best guess is that we dont really have the right soil for them, it was grain farmland about 40 years ago.

You can do spot treatments with things like blood meal to address any nitrogen needs (alfalfa meal works for this too), diluted apple cider vinegar to address pH issues (they like a more acidic flavor of garden soil), or mulch to address an water availability needs (they prefer easy access to water). If they're only on their second year of growth I would expect them to be focusing more on roots than shoots, depending on when they were planted last year and what their root mass was like at planting.
