I Need Bees in my House!

I took all of our plants outside on Thursday to enjoy the 20 + Celsius weather, and when I brought them all in for the night I realized that one of our tomatoes has flower buds on it! Now what am I supposed to do? They have not opened yet, but I guess Mikko will get a lesson on how to pollinate flowers by hand.

It is one of our Micro Toms that has decided to flower before it's even 10 cm tall. None of the others are this crazy. Not that I'm going to complain about having a home grown tomato in April.

Out Mortgage Lifters are taking over the world, and I think we need to construct a cover system so we can plant them outside in a couple of weeks. The biggest one is about the size of Mikko's head, and  you can almost see it grow in front of your eyes.

Kari decided to raid our Nutella jar. There wasn't that much left, so I let him finish it, and showered him afterwards. There just wasn't anything else to do with him.

I visited the poor man's paradise, Ikea, with my good friend Camille, and bought a storage shelf to hold all of the plants. I think I'll need to get another one before long to make sure all the plants get enough light.

Our flowers are growing well, I even found a tiny lavender plant! And I think we might be getting one or two blue poppies. That would be exciting! Lavenders are notoriously difficult to grow from seed, so we still keep our fingers crossed that at least one of them would start to grow. We have several different varieties that need to be planted to separate pots. The chore will most likely happen on Tuesday.

 Our tiny lavender, you can barely see it as a green speck.

The nasturtiums are growing the fastest. I might get some blooms in May.

So things are going super, Kari isn't covered in mysterious brown substance anymore, and in a few more days more of our plants will have a bigger pot to grow in.
