I thought I would update you all on how my garden is coming along. It seems to be growing quite nicely and looks more like a garden than ever! I have (from bottom to top) Spinach, red leaf lettuce, broccoli, chives (hard to see) Roma Tomatoes, Squash, and pole beans up against the fence.I am hoping the beans will climb that chicken wire I put up for them! I also need to get cages for the tomatoes soon.
Basil I am growing indoors, I am using recycled containers, mostly old juice and water jugs I have cut up and painted! The roots don't like light so I didn't want to leave them clear, also painting is fun! I am going to start eating this stuff soon. It's totally ready! Sweet basil ice cream here I come!
Jalepenos are growing super duper slowly! I am okay with this cause I know they like super hot weather and it's just not getting really warm! I started these from seeds almost 2 months ago. Yeessh! I am keeping them dry and warm so they will have a hotter flavor when they produce fruit. (hopefully)
And finally, a salad I made for my lunch today! It's the first salad I have eaten that I have grown entirely myself! Sure it's just spinach and red leaf but my garden is growing and soon my salads will be glorious and plentiful! I am also going to start some heat resistant lettuce soon and some cucumbers! I just got the seeds last night! HOORAY!
