You've heard of four leaf clovers, well I've got a five leaf green bean plant. I'm sure it's just a clump of leaves that didn't make a new stem out of the previous leaf area but it still looks cool.
The garden currently has lots of leaves growing. The basil has doubled in size since last week and the cilantro is growing even faster. No need to go to the grocery store any time soon for these.
The single solitary carrot has no flowers yet but it's already five times bigger than any carrots that tried growing last year. The new leaves seem to just keep coming.
The green onion at first seemed like it might die back after the scapes were done growing and making seed but there are now even more leaves than they started with. Lots of brown of course as the old growth gives way to the new though but that's to be expected.
The tomato plants should be making flowers any day now. There are surely enough leaves but I plan to add a little more dirt and thin them just a little more so there isn't so much competition for nutrients. An of course feeding it all. There are still inkcaps growing in the large pot. I think the dirt was still more mulch than dirt and needs some decomposition. They're doing what they can and should be excellent next year if not by this summer.
