Ok, I wanted to expand my garden - really expand it from last year. I ended up spending just over $200. but I got so much!
tomatoes - 10 varities
peppers - green, yellow, red, lilac, orange, chocolate (a really dark green) and jajapeno.
cucumbers - regular and pickling
eggplant
squash - butternut, spaghetti, crookneck, zucchini
cantaloupe
onions
green beans (blue lake)
peas (sugar snap)
Yesterday, I got 16 of the 26 tomatoes planted. Rick made me some SWC's (4 yesterday and he'll make 2 more today). Gonna plant the jalapenos and the red & yellow peppers in the 4 small one. The big ones I will use for green peppers and probably the squash. I need to get at least 10 more pots! I have 4 2.5cf bags of soil and one of manure left. Gonna need more of both.
Rick and I plan on making salsa and spaghetti sauce to freeze with all the tomatoes, jalapenos, onions and cilantro. I should be able to freeze the peas and green beans as well. I got some pickling stuff to make homemade pickles, too!
I think I went a little overboard, but I can't wait to start reaping the rewards of my garden! I'm so excited about it all. This will be my largest garden ever. Now I just need to figure out where I am going to put it all in the yard! LOL!
Well, need to go plant more stuff. Bye!
