My Condo Garden: Teeny-Weeny Greeny Beany and Other Condo Garden News

The green bean flowers on the plants I left inside are giving way to tiny green beans. You can see one to the right of the flower in the following picture:

The ones on the outside are too busy shivering to sprout beans. May 14, 2011 2:43 pm and it's 49 degrees out. It's not supposed to go below freezing though.

I other news, the pea experiment peas have been replanted because the tiny roots were starting to dig into the washcloth.

Blueberry and Cranberry Bushes looking much better

The strawberries that suffered the same over-fertilizing don't appear to have new browning, but haven't recovered as well. Two of the plants appear to have died and the other two are struggling, but there is some new green growth, so I have some hope.

The first batch of strawberry plants from the kits I purchased are doing better as they were in conventional potting soil. The problem with them is that the kits came with 10 plants each, recommended planting all of them and I think they choked each other to death. I only got one viable straweberry plant out of them in one kit and what's growing out of the other kit doesn' look at all like a strawberry plant:
