Daisies transplanted

It's been a while since I've posted progress on the daisy grow kit. I was a bit later than the directions called for, but I finally transplanted the daisies from the daisy grow kit to a larger pot. The plant was wanting to grow bigger, but just couldn't in the pot it was in. Once I got it out of the pot, I could see that the roots were very thick at the bottom. So now they have a new home in a pot on our back deck:

I hope that they are happier with the extra space, and also with more sun light being outside (still not exactly full sun, though). I'll be happy if just one of them blooms - I'm not quite sure how long it's supposed to take for that, but we'll see.

Tall fescue, rose bush, & daisy kit updates

Quite a few updates today:

First of all, thanks to my wife for the guest post. I look forward to following her vegetable project! Also, just to make it very clear: I'm no plant whisperer! I have quite the knack for killing plants, which is why I think this tall fescue extermination project has a very high probability of success!

That said, I think the tall fescue is starting to succumb to the herbicide. My observations are that the grass has gotten even lighter in color (almost yellow), is not growing nearly as quickly as it used to, and when I look closely there are even some completely brown/dead blades. This about right on schedule according to the instructions. Here's a few shots:

Note the many dead blades.

Needless to say I'm very excited.

In other exciting news, our new rose bush is beginning to grow leaves! Here's a few shots of that:

I haven't had to water it yet since we have had a steady amount of rain lately.

And finally, an update on the daisy grow kit planted back on March 22nd: they're still growing! I gave it some fertilizer a few days ago according to the instructions (once they reach 2-3 inches). I'd guess they're up to 3-4 inches now:

And finally (for real), so far it appears that no other plants have been infected by the fungus (or whatever it is) and the phlox doesn't appear to have any new spots on its remaining leaves, thankfully.

That's all for now.

Daisy progress

The daisies continue their growing! Here's a shot I took yesterday:

Daisy Grow Kit!

Today my wife gave me this daisy growing kit!

It is rather high maintenance!

Daisy Alaska (Chrysanthemum maximum)

I'm very excited! I have it in the window that gets the most sun - hopefully it's enough!

Thank you, My Love!
