Vegetable Errors

My Roma tomatoes all have blossom end rot. How could they do this to me!!! I’m reading that it’s calcium deficiency and/or inconsistent watering, probably the latter – there’s no hose bib in my backyard, so I have been bucket watering from the kitchen sink, but it was…ambitious to think I would make time to do it well. Aquarius folly?

In good news, my rosemary that was on death’s door in January is fully recovered and thriving. And I have barely watered it. I will grow more of this next year. And among the vegetable and herb wall, I still have coriander, basil, celery seed, oregano, cucumbers, peppers, and cherry tomatoes that seem less susceptible to rot.

My real pride and joy though is this passionflower/moonflower planter growing up the staircase. It’s setting flower buds now and I can’t wait to see them bloom!
