Spring Gardening
How many of you are starting a garden this year?
Growing your own food is very rewarding and you don't have to start with a ton of plants. Even just a couple tomato plants to see if you can do it goes a long way. I just transplanted my tomatoes from peat pots into their own area. They were getting 5 inches tall aprox and were crowded in the peat pots. Going to transplant my bell peppers in a week or two when they get a little bigger. I like growing habanero but I hate eating them, usually throw one into chili or something to spice it up. They'll grow just about anywhere you plant them and require almost zero care. My Jalapeno's just didnt grow. All these came from seeds I harvested from last years harvest. :) https://i.imgur.com/xYXJlF2.jpg |

Those succulents and flower bed look gorgeous!! Those mexican petunias are just thriving! They look happy and healthy! :D It all looks great, Thank you for sharing! This past week I spent probably 3 days pulling old dead plants and dried leaves from my growing areas. Super hyped for spring this year. |

Gotta wait a bit longer for last frost to really get going where I’m at. But definitely getting pumped up and getting my root vegetables in!

Best of luck on your grow season! Quote:
entertainment for the cat is always a plus! PLUS more bees = good! :D Quote:
I've always considered trying to grow a smaller plant such as leafy lettuces over the winter. Not sure I could properly maintain the tempature for them though. How forgiving is that? Quote:
I LOVE growing nightshade, rather peppers/tomatos. I really like the direction your garden is heading. I'm also interested in how your berry plants turn out. In all honesty I tried to germinate some berry plants and I didn't have success. Bushes/Shrub berries usually don't fruit the first year but I'm certain you'll get strawberries this year and they'll be sweet! Thanks for sharing! ^,^ |
