Garden Update

Here is a labled layout of one of our gardens. We still need to add some tomatoes, peppers and lemon cucumbers to this garden, this most likely will not be done until next weekend. We still need to install the wood stakes and setup the nylon trellis. We are hopoing that the trullis will allows us to grow more items with all of the climbers growing up this year and not all over the garden. We will see!!!

The fun never ends

So i have realized a very important issue which i would like to share with everyone. I have developed an issue with over buying and over growing seedlings. I have found over the last month, this hobby of mine has become an addiction in many ways. I can't stop planting seeds, and i can't stop buying veggie plants!!! Though this isnt a true issue, not having anywhere to put them is!! So now not only have I had to maximize all possible growing spaces, but I am now creating quite the container garden. Should be a fun harvest.

Some more new plants.

Watermelon


Kentucky Mint


Cilantro

Impulse Buy

Call it a theme, but now we have cucumbers and tomatoes with the word "Lemon" in it, i hope this is a good sign and a productive vegetable. I just couldn't resist with the little impulse devil on my shoulder saying, buy it! On my way into the grocery store.


Hibiscus is Flowering

Corn and Lemon Cucumber seedling update

The corn is growing fast, only have two seedlings so far inside.


Lemon Cucumbers are growing very rapidly, they have doubled in size this past week.


Three of the corn seeds have pushed through the ground this past weekend. yippee.

New vegetable plants

While out at the Home Depot we picked up a few more vegetable plants that should add well to the plants we have already started as seeds. Also is nice to have a few bigger plants to feel the garden is moving forward! I am always in such a rush!! The pictures are slighly blurry...but they should show you what we purchased.
