garden box...12 days

everyday the veggies in the box are getting bigger.  their leaves are actually taking on new shapes as they get larger.  this weekend we will have to take some of them out and allow more room for the others to thrive.  we will also add the trellis for the peas to grow up.  here is the box on day # 12.

you can see from the picture above that the second row from the left has a "bald spot" in the middle.  jarad dug it up the other night to see if he could find the seeds, because those ones did not sprout.  it's okay...we will have to thin it all back very soon.  i planted two kinds of basil (far right).  the front patch is sweet basil, and behind the little tag is the ruffle basil.  i got those seeds from my mom.  they are taking a lot longer to come through, but you can see they are starting to sprout.  the strawberries have gone from green to pink to red, and i am waiting for them to get bigger before picking.

the tomatoes are also showing signs of growth.  2 days ago i had a couple of yellow flowers and today i have two stalks with about 4 yellow flowers each.
