SPRING PLANTING


This is the second annual family vegetable planting. To see the results of our first year go to http://6ptstar.blogspot.com/p/vegetable-garden-2009.html .

Because the garden isn't at my house I didn't participate much last year once the seeds and plantings were in the ground. I usually would "bop" in once a week to see how things were growing but it was my sister Sandra who did the daily watering and weeding. I missed not participating in the daily activities of the garden but since we don't have room or the sun on our condo patio I was happy to participate in the initial planting at my sister's garden.

This year I've decided to plant seeds ahead of the in-ground planting as a way to participate a little more. We have enough space and warmth for this. So
this week (3/17/10) I've planted seeds to grow 6 tomato plants, 6 zuchinnis, 6 bell peppers, 4 watermelon & 4 cantalope . The weather has warmed considerably, reaching in the high 70's, so it's the perfect time to begin. We'll see how it goes.
