My indoor growing space is bursting at the seams with mountain mint and some very leggy tomatoes I’m babysitting for a friend while she’s on vacation. The weather has been relatively pleasant though, so I’ve gotten a few more things potted and several more trays going now as well.

• Some grasses, elderberry, and Carolina allspice in pots with some hibiscus cuttings in the box

• Chokeberries, more elderberries, a few types of raspberries, and a few lowbush blueberries I’ve managed to keep alive after transplanting

• Even more chokeberries, and a whole other type of raspberry (these ones are red)

• Another round of brassicas started

• My worksite supervisor taking a break under a second type of mountain mint I’m growing this year

What’s growing on with you all?

    Thank you! The secret is killing a ton of plants until you improve enough to keep them alive, and then killing more until you can keep them happy

    Spider mites are a tricky pest when the plants prefer a dryer soil, but I’ve had some success with a layer of sand on top of the potting mix, which might be worth a try. And there are so many cool varieties of basil that I totally encourage you to try from seed! I know you’re going to have that kitchen garden rocking in no time
