Broccoli, basil, parsley, tomatoes, strawberries, peppers and rosemary, welcome to my garden!
My hands are filthy dirty with mud up under my nails.
I was just in my garden planting strawberries and the last of four tomato plants!
My little garden is looking gooooooooood!
This is a brand new experience for me (growing vegetables and fruit, down on my hands and knees, messing with nature) and already I have learned a few things that don't work.
For instance:
When you plant something from a little seed and use one of those plastic domes, be very careful about the amount of water you pour on and be very careful that you use a light weight potting soil.
I tried the dome and I lost all but one plant out of 72 little plants, each one the space one egg would take up in an egg crate.
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......That hurt!
Now I am experimenting with peat moss, Epsom salts and up-graded potting soil.
I bought a terra-cotta pot for my strawberry plants. That was fun stuffing the
little plants in the holes on the side.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I did it right. Strawberries are annuals!
Tomorrow, I will plant the collard greens and then, I'm done with digging, for now!
