I saw this plant along the bottom of Telegraph Hill in San Francisco… and I’m still wondering what it is.

Filbert Steps / Telegraph Hill (Part 2)
Here are a few photos from my Flickr photo set entitled
“Filbert Steps, San Francisco (May 2006)“.

Tomatoes and Eggplants Seedlings
My Tomatoes and Eggplants seedlings looks so puny compared to the ones I see at the nurseries.
Telegraph Hill + Lens + Coleus Pots
Today (Tuesday), I ate lunch at my desk, but later it was a little slow, so I decided to walk around. I went up Telegraph Hill again, but it was a lot warmer than my previous hike, so I was panting… I took a couple of photos including a massive clump of that mystery weed I’ve been wanting to ID… I also found it’s flowers. I’ll post those later. I also saw a Passiflora that seemed to just be growing wild on the hillside. I don’t think I got a clear shot of it though.
When I got home I got the package of the Telephoto and Wide-angle Lens… I was very pleased with the company because they also upgraded my shipping to two day air for free and included a free Lens Conversion Adaptor, a free Mini Tripod, a free Lens Cleaner (Solution, Tissue and Cloth), a free Brush/Blower and free Packing Popcorn! All this for the price of two lens which was about $30 each. I think the deserve an A+!!!
There was a little bit of light, so I planted a few Coleus pots.
Coleus pot #11: 2 ‘Kong Scarlet’ cutting (from last year) + 2 ‘Kong Hybrid’ seedlings (seeds I harvested last year)
Coleus pot #12: ‘Joey’ (He deserves a pot of his own)
I noticed that a few of the remaining Coleus (that I haven’t potted up) are quite leggy and infected with more mealy bugs!!! I think I will have to decapitate these and reroot them. I took a look at some of the others that were already potted and I think I will have to do the same.

You know you’re a gardener when… um… look familiar?
Wish List: Variegata + Aurea
After reading greenshadows‘s past entries…
– Variegated Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis ‘Variegata’) ( DG PlantFiles )
– Lavatera olbia ‘Aurea’ ( DG PlantFile )
Repottings…
I didn’t get home until about 7:45pm, but there was still a little bit of light outside, so I repotted some of my seedlings into one-gallon containers until I have my vegetable beds ready. I hope they will at least grow a bit bigger while I fix up the beds.
I repotted two each of the Burgundywine, Roma and Great White Tomatoes into their own pots… and two Scarlet Chinese Eggplant (4 total) into 2 one-gallon pots. I was also going to repot the Japanese Long Eggplants into their own pot, but I ran out, so I have to look for more and maybe do that tomorrow.
I also chopped down more of the Swiss Chard and cleared half of vegetable bed #1. By this time it was already dark and I was gardening by a citronella candle light.
I also noticed that we are not getting enough browns in our compost, so I need to shred some newspaper and use those as browns.
