Key lime anyone?




Dare I say, who's laughing now? Okay, we all are, but not for long...germination did take a wee bit longer than many other seedlings that I have grown, although the first time it appeared that I had goofed...And then I thought of what I did years ago to force things to grow, plants that is, not children by any means, ha... I put Saran wrap over the top and attached it with a rubber band all over after I had added the coffee grounds for an additional acid soil adjustment and Voila in days, I saw babies sprouting, vegetation ones that is and so I removed the Saran, and that was as of 6-19-14! The last two pics were taken just a few minutes ago, today 6-22-14! At this rate I can see a tree in our future and soon after planted, fruit? Eh, it takes years, but we are on our way! NO laughing from me...or you now either I bet.

As far as Hubby's crop goes his is also doing quite well, and again I have PICS to prove that too, his heirloom tomatoes and cherry tomatoes as well as his cucumbers:






In case any of you forgot where I got those seeds for my Key lime plant, here's a reminder...I'm just saying...acquired on 5-17-14 at the Fishville Key Lime Festival, sorry but that is not the date planted though, shamefully I did not write that date down.., but it was a while after...of course! I do believe that germination of most seedlings is seven to ten days, but mine took, maybe fourteen to twenty-one, still, it did happen; let's all remember that!

On that cheerful note allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and I will now ask all of you to kindly count all your blessings and share those overages and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
