The Garden is Planted!

Out of the 5 raised garden beds that we made, I have slowly been planting. Last night I finished planting the last bits. I bought 22 tomato cages and cut up many saplings to use as bean poles which we set in place.

We have 4 types of lettuce, rainbow swiss chard, carrots, radishes, collards, greens, kale, cabbage, and broccoli.

We ahve red and yellow onions, fennel, basil, cilantro, Armanien Cukes, burpless cukes, and regular cukes.

Sugar snap peas, Zennia flowers, butterfly weed, and sunflowers galore.

Over 50 tomato plants in all; grape tomatos, yellow tomatos, yellow pear tomatos, white and purple tomatos, stripped tomatos, and of course the reds.

12 different pepper plants; Hot peppers, sweet peppers, bell peppers, and too hot to eat peppers.

Three types of egg plant, spaghetti squash, yellow squash and zuccini. Miniture pumpkins will then fill in the corner of the fence.

These are the first bites from the garden.

At the end of the run, I took the starts of tomatos out of the Areo garden and potted them up in a basket of tomato goodies for Mrs. Brown, Pete's boss. In the basket she got crushed egg shells with instructions, fertalizer with instructions, and coffee grounds with instructions. It is so fun to share.

Pete then took a few tomato plants to his coworkers. A kind of bragging rights, I would say.

I am having too much fun with these gardens so far...lets see if I feel the same later in the summer. LOL
