That is a “dwarf” tomato plant. Lies, I say. It seems a little shorter than regular plants but it is still going to be huge and is already pumping out flowers like crazy.

The bucket of chard and kale is huge, and I just picked some a few days ago. Both buckets are mostly recycled soil from last year’s potato plants. The upper layer is new soil. I might have mixed in some organic fertilizer into the old soil. That might explain the huge growth.

I’ve got lettuce to harvest, and my planters all look really pretty.

The baskets are coming along slowly. Marigolds are not growing as fast anywhere as I would expect them to, and I’ve had to prune the oregano back in one pot because it got huge really fast.

The lemongrass is coming along nicely and it’s starting to get established enough that I can let the cats munch on it freely.
