It's so windy today, I hope the little plants don't dry out. I just checked them and the dirt is still moist, but they're waving in the breeze like crazy, like they're waving bye bye.
I guess it must be a south west wind, since it's coming in the bedroom window, which is on the south, and the west living room window. It rained last night, with this wind, and I couldn't get the bedroom window to stay shut. It took me four tries to get it to stay down. My head is right by the window, so I could feel the rain!
The sweet potato is growing like crazy. I was reading last night about different ways to plant them to sprout. Mine sprouted on its own, right on the counter top!
I could cut it into many pieces, as long as each has an eye, or the place where they sprout. I'm going to leave it whole, though, and let it sprout on it's own like that.
Once the sprouts get to be 5 or 6 inches long, I can take them off of the potato, put them in water, let them root and then plant them. I can get more plants that way. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with half a dozen sweet potato plants in the house, but they do make beautiful and easy vines!
The ginger I don't know about. I tried to read about that, but my internet connection wouldn't cooperate. Am going to try that again today...
I took a closer look at the Brandy Boys this morning and they are growing. So they must be doing alright. I think I'm going to give them the smaller of the glass watering globes. I have more seeds of everything else, as much as I don't want to lose any of them, I can restart on the others. The Brandy Boys came as plants, already six inches tall. I guess they are growing. They're probably 8 to 10 inches tall, now!
The little peppers are growing and doing great since their transplant into larger containers. So are the little tomatoes. Some of them I shouldn't call little, anymore! The ones in the big pot, I think have grown nearly an inch since Sunday. Something must be right about what I'm doing...
