Veggies

This year we went a different route with our vegetable planting. Last year, we picked a spot and planted several different veggies using seeds. The garden was a semi-success. Some of the plants did well while the others really flopped.

This year we decided to plant a nifty little seed pot produced by Miracle Gro.



We chose cucumbers, peppers, and tomatoes and planted them in pots and housed them on our deck. I'm so impressed at how they are doing. They quickly started sprouting and are really looking good. I'll keep you posted on their progress.

Tomatoes

So far, this system seems much better for growing plants than the plan to plant in our not so great clay soil in NC.

I picked some of our carrots the other day and this is what they looked like. It's been fun to watch our little seeds grow into veggies that we can actually eat. 

How Does Your Garden Grow?

This is our first time trying a little garden patch in our yard. The girls and John planted the seeds back in April and we are now seeing some vegetation make its appearance. They planted tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, and green onions. 

One of our tomato plants was stripped bare about three weeks ago. It was so weird to see the stalk that was left behind. We're not sure what came along and ate it, but it appears they enjoyed it. 

The remaining tomato plant

It's been fun to watch those little seeds form into actual food items! Looking forward to our harvest.

Here come the cucumbers!
