I looked outside and all transplants from yesterday look good. Johnny, I've got 10 Tobacco plants and six of them are in three pots and they are now too big for those pots and each needs a bigger pot. I've got to get pots ordered at Mega Garden place as that is the cheapest for larger pots.

I have six Sunflowers in pots outside now. They are not large but were too big for the cup so transplanted them yesterday to outside.

If growth and blossoms mean anything, I should have strawberries some day not far away I would think but I've never had any, so what do I know.

WHAT MAKES A DWARF MANDARIN ORANGE TREE MAKE ORANGES? It is full of blooms but they are beginning to fall off - the orange smell around that tree is really heavy. Do they magically make oranges? Don't see any baby oranges anywhere.

The three blackberry sticks are really growing leaves pretty fast.

I don't see any carrots coming up in the four grow bags where planted but maybe it takes a while for the seed to do their thing. I'm not used to sewing seed directly. I see tiny lettuce in the long planter but they are really tiny.

I wait with bated breath for those Walking Onions to start making onions at the top of the stalks but nothing yet. They look super strong.

I already need to transplant various tomatoes out of the cups under grow lamp to larger pots. Maybe I can do that today.

You may have to hand pollinate the baby oranges with a paintbrush. It may be too early for the bees and you live in a walled garden. You may have to do the same with your strawberries as well.

I had 3 of the grandkids and both of their parents here in my little house. We set up the indoor range for older grandson to practice with the rifle. I love my grandkids, but they certainly can be a handful.

The grand-daughter fell in love with the cloth doll that I've been working on, and wanted it. I told her no, she couldn't have it, but it would be here for her to play with when she came over. Little does she know that she'll be getting version 2.0 in June, once I've worked all the kinks out.
