Ok, good to know [garden]

Lesson learned in the garden today: Shake everything a lot before bringing produce in. The lettuce got so excessively leggy that I decided it was time they'd had their run. I don't think they bolted, but still. I had to grab some tomato plants before they stopped selling them. I acquired Black Crim and some form of Heirloom at Wilson. Also some cinnamon basil (and it really smells of cinnamon- bet it'd go well with strawberries) and some bush beans. Beans are now where the lettuce was. Tomatoes go in their own bucket.

The bee balm, aka alien flowers, have started to do their thing. I had no idea how the flowers transformed. Well, now I know. The leaves themselves are part of the bloom. It contiues to bully the hell out of its neighbor, the chocolate mint. I trimmed back several stalks of balm to give both mint and basil some breathing room. Oy.

The onion is really getting its bloom on- I cut away what was probably pretty wretched edible leaves- They got too big for eatin'. It was mostly an experiment. I don't really do much with green onion in cooking. I'll pull it up as soon as its had its fun with the flowering part. In about a month, I'll be planting garlic!
