Last weekend Gene, Marc and I Planted our garden for the up coming Spring and Summer months. Gene and I are trying to plant some new things this year. Last year we planted Zucchini, Squash, Tomatoes and Herbs. We ended up with tons and tons of Squash and no Tomatoes. This year we decided that we wouldn’t plant any type of Squash but we planted 5 different types of Tomato. We want to find out which varieties we like the best, and then next year only plant two or three. Our planting list goes as follows: Two Blueberry Bushes (for cross pollination), a hand full of Strawberries plants, One Raspberry Bush, A couple of Broccoli Stalks, One Jalapeno Pepper (just for fun), and Five rows of Lettuce (planted by seeds, four different varieties). We planted Herbs again, also which include, Cilantro, Basil, Thyme, Oregano and Chives. We will see how they do and then maybe plant a few more herbs. Right now my Basil is looking a little sad and needs some attention. Hopefully our Garden will grow really well this year and the fruits of our LABORS will THRIVE. It was quite a bit more work than I had anticipated and poor Gene, his knee was hurting so bad that he couldn’t help much. (He had arthroscopic surgery and an ACL clean up on it the Friday before last). That’s why Marc came to help me dig the big holes and carry all the mulch and fertilizer. I can’t wait to watch it grow.
THANKS SO MUCH MARC!!!
