Mother’s Day Garden

Sunday, June 16, 2013

So if you are my facebook friend you might have seen one of my status’ about how my father and sister in-law came down around mother’s day and brought plants and planted me a garden. I wasn’t getting to it because of having Matthew and things being crazy with a newborn.
It was such a blessing for them to do it!
Yesterday i spent the morning weeding because grass was growing all over from Bob putting the yard clippings in the beds as fertilizer all fall and spring.
I usually hate weeding but yesterday morning it was kinda fun. The morning was cooler then it had been and it was the perfect time to do it.
So this evening i went out and checked on the garden. I knew it didn’t need watering from all the watering i did yesterday and then last night it rained as well.
I took this time to put our tomato surrounds on the tomatoes since everything is growing like crazy.

Bed #1

This bed contains: (i think anyways, since i didn’t plant it and most this aren’t tagged I'm sorta guessing)
  • Peppers
  • Tomatoes
  • Cucumber (the climbing thing in the back)
  • Rosemary
  • And i believe bell peppers

Bob noticed that bed #1 actually already had a few tomatoes on there. Wootness!

Tiny peppers. Dad said these are very hot…. don’t remember what they are called but the red ones look ready so i picked them. Dad said red or purple could be picked.

This bed contains:
  • Peppers
  • Lettuce
  • Tomatoes
  • Basil
  • Parsley
  • Oregano
  • Thyme
  • Squash

Dad didn’t think the tomatoes would go good from seed and planted from a tiny tinny sprout but looks like it is going great! Maybe i will try to plant tomatoes next year from seed?

Bed #3

This bed contains:
  • Peppers
  • Bush Beans
  • Tomatoes
  • Squash

Things are going good! Last year was so easy and fun, i hope this year is the same and things go well.
While i was also out there i sprayed all the plants down with my natural bug repellent, hope that helps.
