So far sow good

I know I disappeared for the winter but I just had so much going on. Yada yada yada.

Well, my fall tomatoes grew well and produced a nice crop but the squash and peas were a bust. So I am trying a few new things this season. I actually have one of my tomato plants coming back. I added another tomato plant to the container. Oh and by the way, remember the Veggie Tomato Supports I used were just terrible. I am going to use something else this year. Just the plain cheap metal cages.

I am also trying to grow some herbs which I have started.

Rosemary

Here are the yellow pepper, red pepper, tomatoes, and lettuce I planted in the ground, yes I am trying the ground for these you heard right. I added some good soil, dolomite and fertilizer to the bed and planted my plants.

Puttin up

This is something I posted on another one of my blogs a few months ago. I also made fresh pasta sauce with all of the tomatoes I grew in the fall.

In my life I do alot of "Puttin' Up". This time I am "Puttin Up" in the old fashion sense of the phrase... storing food, canning, freezing and such. Since I like to cook I often need fresh red, yellow, and green peppers but only a small amount of each. I got tired of having to throw out the unused portions so now I buy a bunch, chop them up with onion, put them into these mini muffin pans. I then put the pans in the freezer to freeze them then take them out of the pans and put them into freezer bags. Now I alway have them ready to add to whatever I am making!!! Ta da!!!

Rainy days are here

It rained all day and may rain all week. My tomatoes are starting to ripen. Yum Yum!

What's in your garden?

As the garden grows...

My Italian Roma Tomatoes are really flourishing. I did have to kill a little green worm and pick off a few ruined tomatoes, but I still have many.



Now my Big Beef and Mountain Fresh Plus tomatoes have a few tomatoes and a few blooms but the plants look a little yellow and weak. Only time will tell I suppose.


My squash looks awful. Look at this ugly bumpy squash.

It is going to get down to 39 degrees tonight here in Katy Texas....or so they say. It was 42 this morning.

Semi-green thumb in progress

I have new pictures of my plants. Look my pathetic peas have a bloom...who knew???
Bloomin' peas.

Joy, joy! Squash are getting bigger at last!
I have Roma tomatoes galore. This is the first one

So maybe I will have a "crop" after all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
