If you are wondering what those bottles are beside the tomato plants are, they are water spikes with 2 liter bottles on top of them. I am trying an experiment this year. I placed water spikes beside the plants as I put them in the ground this year. I am hoping that I won't spend half the day watering the plants like I did last year. I am suspecting that we may have a HOT HOT summer. Last year I did it with my butterfly bushes that I started from seeds and they survived and grew very well. This year I planted tomatoes and bell peppers. The bell peppers are from a carnival mix so I have no idea what color they are going to be. We are going to have some cold weather tonight so I hope that the plants will survive the cold. It is suppose to get in the low 30's. I am going to cover the plants and pray that the cold does not kill them.
Also today I potted quite a few amaryllis plants. I think it was a total 24 or more. The thing is I have another 30 sprouts and another 4 seed pods that are ready to pop open and day. The seed pods can have as many as 75 seeds or possibly more.
