Lazy gardener

I finally bought some more fish fertilizer and have used it a couple of times. It's been so wet that I don't really want to add more moisture.

I planted Sweet Basil this year again. I put in about twice as much as I did last year. I'm looking forward to homemade pesto again. I also planted some more bunching onions. I might get one or two heads of broccoli if I'm lucky. I decided to stick with two tomato plants instead of three. I was basically too lazy to find the kind I wanted and don't really have the room for 3 with the other stuff I'm growing. The tomato plants I do have are doing pretty well. I took the cloches off about a week ago. I probably should have left them on longer, but I was getting impatient. They are near 3 feet tall now, but the Georgia Streak is about 6 inches taller and much fuller than the Black Seaman. As soon as we start to get more consistent sun they should really take off. We've already passed our normal yearly average of rain. The weather has been noticeably wetter the past few years. The cilantro is yummy and is starting to grow up instead of out. I have a lot fewer spinach plants this year and they are doing great. I had way too many for just me last year.
