My Little Farm

Hello all!

I decided that this year I wanted to grow some vegetables.

I haven't had a garden for many years and there is no way

that I could tend to one down on the ground.

Something like this is what I really wanted, but my 

hubby wasn't so keen on that idea, so I had to figure out

another way to have my veggie garden.

The other day I went to a local discount store, 

Overstock Outle, and found

this garden container.
it's a pretty good size, it's above ground where I can reach

it to tend it easily and best of all it was a really good price.

Yes, one corner did have a tiny crack, but I don't think that's 

going to make any difference at all.

So off I went to the nursery and got a few bags of 

this soil.

I put my little farm in the back corner of the yard and 

filled it with the soil.

And planted what I had bought.

Hot peppers

and cucumbers.
I'll have to run some twine up to the fence for the

cucumber vines to grow up when they get bigger.

I had more room in there so today I went back and picked up

some Romaine lettuce and added that to my farm.

Now I hope I've left enough room for everything to grow.

Guess I'll find out, eh?

Here's my little farm, ready to grow and feed the family.

I didn't want to invest a lot more money in containers,

so I used what was available around the house and

garage.

These are my tomato plants.

Personally I'm not a tomato fan, but others are,

and I thought maybe we could make some 

salsa with some of what I grow.

I AM a fan of salsa.

We'll see how that goes.

I know they are going to need to have some 

stakes put in when they get bigger.

I'm sure I have some kind of dowels in my craft room

that I can use for that.

For now they will sit on the deck stairs.

Thanks for stopping by today.

come again soon.

You never know what you'll find on

(hint: next post will have to do with zucchini)
