Alien Invasion

I almost freaked out this week. Suddenly, weird little bubbles started growing in my garden! I was terrified even thinking about them, because what if they are some awful parasites or if something poisonous is growing in my garden?

But after consulting several experts (thank God for online forums!), it turns out they're just cup fungi growing on un-composted compost that I mixed into the soil. They still give me the creeps (I nicknamed them "alien spawn"), but at least now I know that they're harmless. And that I won't have to burn my garden to the ground and run away.

I won't be posting any pictures of them because I'd rather forget all about them if at all possible... So here's a picture of my tulips instead!

Yay! My tulips are flowering!

 

I gave up on my salad because even after more than 1 month, there are still no signs of anything growing where I planted the seeds. So I bought some seedlings instead and planted them.

I also bought and planted some basil next to my parsley, for a herb square.
