Mini veggie garden

I have a great pot, but it doesn't drain well and is need of more potting soil.

I just happen to have half a bag stored in an outdoor bench. As I reached to grab it, something loud moved inside the storage bench and I saw a gaping hole in the bag.

I admit that I am not a fan of bugs, but this hole is a bit big and makes me think it could be a mouse or rat! Ewww! I have made a request for someone braver than I to reach in and take out the soil and add it nicely to my veggie garden pot.

Is it possible to be a gardener and not like bugs? I know I should get myself a healthy crop of earthworms to, there is so much to learn.

Speaking of learning, I was so excited to tell my gardening guru, Diane, about my lettuce that it was growing so nice and tall, like a tree. She informed me, it was bolting and to eat the leaves, it was going to die.

I love all my plants, and it does make me sad when they aren't doing well. If you had seen me worrying over my Chinese Lantern plant, which my mom said was a weed, but I vigilantly begged it to survive and kept moving it back and forth in sunny and shady spots until I finally thought, just to give it a final resting spot with my roses.

My roses aren't actually blooming, they just look like thorny green stems poking in various directions from two inch pots. At least they are green, it gives me hope they will sprout little buds soon. Maybe its a season thing, even though we don't really have seasons in Hawaii.

Oh my, I've rambled on too long. Wishing you a wonderful Wednesday!

Love and Aloha,
Maile
