Baby lemony basil just starting its second set of leaves!
I wrote alt text but in my sleepy headed state couldn’t come up with a good description of the interesting shape of the initial cotyledon leaves.
I really enjoy having a camera app with manual focus on my iPhone for photos like this one. An old version of Obscura.

Wow, I got the seeds collected from the wonderful lemony basil plans I grew to sprout! These seeds are very tiny. I used tweezers to plant two seeds each in 16 of these tiny starting cubes!
I will fill Saffron bed with basil in June when the Saffron has all gone dormant for the summer!

The second batch of seeds (sown last week) is starting to show some results! Basil (in the rectangular container) and squash are coming out ☺️
No cucumbers yet, though 😞 (the seeds are around 6 years old, so nothing might come out of them in the end).

2025 gardening scorecard: self-replicating leafy greens
This year’s gardening season was easier than usual mainly because in some ways, 2024’s gardening season never ended: As spring rolled around, I was delighted to see that last fall’s arugula, spinach, parsley and even cilantro had somehow survived a winter with multiple snowfalls and sub-freezing days.
I don’t know why that happened this year but not in earlier years (see my recaps of 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012 and 2011), but I appreciate that unearned benefit anyway.
Arugula: A+
My go-to leafy green remained undefeated for yet another year, providing sandwich fixings and delicious additions to a variety of other recipes–it’s great to throw into an omelette, a pan sauce, on top of pasta or even as a garnish for a pizza just out of the oven.
Herbs: A
I’m using to parsley doing well, but cilantro persisting through summer and fall was not what I expected; neither was cilantro briefly returning in the fall. Thyme thrived for a second year in a row, and I had more rosemary and sage from the pots on the back patio than I knew what to do with. Mint, however, suffered from my irregular watering.
Spinach: B+
This did immensely better in the spring than in the fall, even though I sowed a fresh set of seeds in the fall. I continue to endorse this as an entry-level kitchen-garden crop over lettuce because, like arugula, it’s useful for so much more than salads and sandwiches.
Peppers: B-
All credit here goes to my wife, who once again grew bell and jalapeño peppers in a planter in the driveway for some of our most cost-effective gardening. Those plants, however, were not as productive as in past years, even discounting the peppers that some of our local squirrels snacked on.
Lettuce: C
This was one of 2025’s gardening disappointments; like last year, I didn’t get much out of the plants that grew from the seeds I planted in the spring. That still represents a decent ROI when you look at what good lettuce costs at a farmer’s market, but I can’t help thinking of how much better this crop fared in earlier years.
Tomatoes: D-
Yet another year, yet another year of disappointment in my attempt to grow one of my native state’s signature crops. This is starting to look like an annual slow-motion, step-on-the-rake exercise in which most of the tomatoes I grow only start to ripen once we run into a period of drought or or travel prevents me from harvesting and enjoying the results. It’s frustrating, but of course I will try again next year.

If you need a way to use up a large zucchini I highly recommend this soup. #zucchini #cashews #basil #lemon #miso #garlic #soup #squash #cooking #food #blender https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1024477-chilled-zucchini-soup-with-lemon-and-basil?unlocked_article_code=1.YE8.4GcM.Vb0Ur-3887MA&smid=share-url

Some 'early' morning photos of the garden getting some sun from the East, and a photo showing the summer squash plants that are more than 3 feet tall now not counting the raised bed, and a 'bush' acorn squash that has lots of vines going in all directions.

Zucchini and Bell pepper update. There might be a pollinated zucchini, or courgette, now. The one that wasn't isn't soft so it stays on the plant for now. I've picked some sunburned peppers but others aren't so they continue to grow bigger. They need more basil and marigold shade from the sun! Yes, more basil in this bed.

my apartment building is celebrating #EarthDay by having a plant potting station
... except the plants never arrived, so there's just seeds 🤷🏻 which is sorta fine, but they're all FULL SUN and my apartment is northern facing, so who knows how these little #basil seeds will do
the guy who works the front desk said they'll probably extend Earth Day for a few days, since I'm so far the only person who showed up for it 🤣😭

Enjoying the lovely weather and some of the flora on our back patio. I am particularly excited (proud?) of the #tomato and #basil plants, which were grown from seeds and clippings, respectively, from their indoor hydroponic progenitors.
The #geraniums are just gorgeous.

I saw a video about propagating houseplants, and I figured I’d try it on my house basil.
It worked! Infinite basil hack!
