Today was another nice day with lots of sunshine and warm temperatures. The perfect day to get the garden in. Our garden has in the past been a hit and miss proposition. For example, last year we planted some nice green peppers which we had started indoors but the day after we got them in the ground something ate all of them. We tried watermelon and again something bore a hole in each one and ate the insides out leaving nothing but a hollow shell. Our corn ended up with some kind of fungus and we got maybe 2-3 good ears. We did have good success with cucumbers, spinach and lettuce though. So this year we decided to plant a few different things and see what happens. The lineup is tomatoes (including grape tomatoes, heirloom and yellow cherry tomatoes), cucumbers (banking on last years success), lettuce (romaine as well as leaf), spinach and a newcomer this year…eggplant. It’s all in the ground so now comes the WWW… Waiting…Weeding…Watering. I’ll post some pictures when I get the chance.
Looks like some fun summer activities. I’ve never have any serious gardening considering our lack of garden space. But my father seems to enjoy his orange tree.
I’d love to try some gardening works if I have the space.
Thanks Eric! My wife planted papaya as well. I doubt that it will produce fruit here but she really only wants to get the leaves. It will be interesting to see what happens with that. If we could only keep the cats out of it now.
