I hate being sick, everything goes out of whack and my routines go down the drain and it takes a while for everything to settle back into a good rhythm.

Anyway, so I neglected the tomato plants a little and now they’re all on their way out. I harvested the tomatoes that I could and this weekend will be tomato dumping time. I’m nibbling on the ripe tomatoes and mmm… mmm… mmm… it’s so tasty. Next time I know to plant only one tomato plant per pot, the plants are very pot-bound at the moment, which I’m sure contributed to their dismay.

Once the plants make it to the trash, the old tomato pots are going to be cleaned sealed (they were terracotta) and something new will be planted in them, not sure what yet, maybe the hollyhock?

Speaking of hollyhock, out of 8 seeds 5 germinated and I already killed 2 from lack of water. I moved the hollyhock and frangipani seedlings outside and kinda forgot about them. The frangipani seedlings are still alive, but 2 of the hollyhock seedlings died. I stuck 5 more seeds in the jiffy pots and gave them all a good water.

I started new seeds this morning. I soaked 10 jiffy pellets, 5 for okra seeds and 5 for tomato seeds. I’m really thinking of getting a mini greenhouse so I can keep the seedlings outside. It’s ridiculous having so many seedlings indoors, it messes up the house.

Which reminds me, I need more charcoal coloured plastic pots! The two house plants I have at home are going to be moved to the office and me, being the somewhat anal retentive type, wants all the pots to match. I still have to re-pot the peace lily and the mother’s in law tongue as it is, now I can add the calathea and cordyline to the list.
