I bought a strawberry plant and it had this moss or fungi looking thing growing with it.
Does anyone know what this is?

Sunday’s Plantings…
On Sunday, I planted Aurea, a cool little “stepable” ground cover, randomly here and there. I want it to take root and spread because I just love it’s color.
Lyssimachia nummularia “Aurea”
My mom planted some Bataw (a Filipino bean)
I started planting a 6 pack of Sequoia in the strawberry pot I bought on Saturday, then realized I needed more strawberries to top it off… so I took a trip to Target. I ended up buying 3 more Strawberry plants, a Coleus and a Euphorbia

I also planted 3 other pots: (left to right) Euphorbia polygona “Snowflake”, Acanthorhipsalis monacantha, Euphorbia obesa
In the front yard, I tore some weeds out to create a new bed for some sunflowers.

Saturday’s Home Depot trip…
On Saturday, my Mom and I went to Home Depot to buy some potting soil. We ended buying more…
Potting Soil, Steer Manure and Soil Conditioner
A Strawberry Pot and a $5 Pot
My mom bought a 6 pack of Celosia and a 6 pack of Zinnias. I bought a 6 pack of Coleus
Harvesting Plums…
Sometimes we harvest plums from the ground :)
Here’s what I collected
Yumm!!!
My Lemon Grass has rooted…
About a week and a half ago, I bought some Lemon Grass from Seafood City (a Filipino grocery store) and soaked it in water to see if it’ll root.
Well, it did!!!… and I noticed that a side shoot was starting to sprout, so I planted it in a pot with soil and hopefully it’ll start growing more shoots. I never grew or seen a Lemon Grass plant, so I don’t know if I should cut the original stalk back.

Yellow Pear Tomato RIP, Planting Bok Choy and Lettuce Harvest
After being sick for 3 days and having surprise showers, I was able to go outside and work in the garden.
My Yellow Pear Tomato died for some reason. I’m not sure why, but the others tomato plants next to it looks fine and healthy. I noticed some new tomatoes plants that sprouted from the homemade compost that I mixed in the bed and planted it in the Yellow Pear Tomatoes place.
I also transplanted the Bok Choy that I planted from seeds to the bed. I just hope that the bugs don’t eat them all up.
The Lettuce are getting big and I was able to harvest some for dinner.
I also took a whole bunch of photos around the garden, but will post them behind a cut in my next entry.
A trip to the San Francisco Botanical Garden…
On Saturday, I went to a plant sale at the San Francisco Botanical Garden. I’ve never been to one, so I just wanted to see what a plant sale is like and what was available. It wasn’t as big as I thought, but they had alpine plants, some succulents and other perennials. I enjoyed looking at the other gardens that lead to the nursery and regretted not bringing my camera. There was one flowing plant that I just had to take a picture of.
Sorry for the poor quality, but this photo was taken with my mobile phone.
Now I want to take a day off of work and plan a day trip (with my camera) and take loads of pictures.
