Trip to Local Greenhouses

Last weekend we went shopping for the garden, first stop Rosemeyers. They have an amazing selection of everything and many greenhouses. We bought 4 large Better Boy tomato plants with flowers and tomatoes already on them. We also bought 8 Roma plants because we can a lot for winter and make salsa. We bought Jalapeno, Cayenne, and Habanero pepper plants for our spicy jams we make sell at the farmers market. I also bought one eggplant and one summer squash because my husband doesn't really like either one. We also purchased some Basil and oregano. Next stop was Adopt-A-Plant where we visited with the owner, we know her from local farmers markets, we bought Lemon basil, and cilantro there. Now to get everything in the garden.

Garden is Tilled

Here it is finally tilled. We went much bigger this year its about 900 square feet. I have an area against the house 16 ft by 5 ft for just cucumbers. Also another area about 16 ft by 4 feet for onions. Im so excited and I cant wait to move all these plants outside.

I will post more pics as it comes along more.

Enjoy and Peace

Green is good

Well hello, exciting day here. Garden is doing really fantastic, picked our first pepper today. More on their way, but the first is the best. The tomatoes are also coming along well, alot of small ones. Cucumbers are ready to take over the whole area, so we are going to build a trellis to let them grow up also. We intend to put up some pickles this summer, and also can tomatoes if there are any left that I don't eat!

How Does My Garden Grow

We finally planted our garden yesterday! First we had to clean out an area that had a lot of weeds so that was hard. We then planted tomatoes,cucumbers, peppers,radishes and cilantro. I'm so excited I cant wait for the first tomatoes. I didn't have a watering can so we recycled a kitty liter container. My husband drilled holes in the lid and it works perfect for watering the plants.
Happy gardening.
Enjoy
