Planter 2 the plants

I am completely late getting this photo up but better late than never. I planted a whole bunch of plants two weeks ago for planter two. The photo to the right is the beginning photo. As you can see the tomatoes already sprouted, big surprise! I also planted some more watermelon, cantaloupe, pumpkin, and some bell peppers since they didn't take the first time. At this point most of them have sprouted and I planted them in planter 2 today. I will take some pictures tomorrow and post them.

Topsy Turvey update

I was surprised when my tomato plant started to grow well in the Topsy Turvey. Well Bert the tomato plant is doing really well! He is already growing three tomatoes that are a nice size and a ton of little yellow buds. So it looks like I'll be putting my own tomatoes in my salad soon!

Planter 2 the begining

Planter two is finally up! My only issue now is I don't have enough to plant in it. I had a whole box of strawberry seeds & Bell Peppers that didn't come up. So I've planted one pumpkin a tomato and one cantaloupe. I've re-started the strawberries in the hopes that they will eventually arrive. Only time will tell at this point.

Planter 1 planted

It's been awhile since the last post. We have been recovering from our 4th of July weekend getaway. We finally were able to get our seedlings planted in planter one. Its just amazing to watch the little guys grow. Using the square foot garden guide we planted watermelon, Pot Marigold, tomato, Pumpkins, leaf lettuce, butter lettuce, bell pepper, peas, cantaloupe, onions, carrots, and garlic. Below is a layout of planter 1. We used leftover Popsicle sticks to label the plants.

The Topsy Turvey

My husbands boss received a Topsy turvy and decided she didn't want it. When she found out we had a vegetable garden she gave it to us. I had only heard bad reviews about the Topsy turvy so when the tiny plant started growing like mad I was really surprised. It is already producing a bunch of blooms and has grown . I can't wait to see the first tomatoes :).
