urocyonThe volunteer "Midewivan Sacred" tobacco plants (Nicotiana rustica) are doing very well indeed. They came up in a growbag, so I just left them there. There are seven plants at this point--a little crowded--but they seem happy enough.
The geranium in the background managed to survive the winter, which is the main reason I left the old growbag stack there. The green stuff on the wall is where some workmen upstairs dripped Cuprinol all over the place. And left it there. :-|
The biggest plant, about 2 ft. tall now, is getting tiny flower buds:
The flower clusters (photo) on those are gorgeous in a slightly understated way; you can see how closely related petunias are. I'm particularly pleased with all the volunteers this year. Not knowing how long we'd be here, I avoided planting more stuff this year, but we've got some annuals anyway. :) We did have one volunteer tomato plant, which was growing well until a slug cut it down.
