Planting stuff


more peppers
Originally uploaded by iamcootis
Wendy and I went to Natural Gardener in Oak Hill to pick up some plants today. I bought a couple tomatoes, cucumbers and an assortment of peppers. Fourteen plants plus the two tomato plants that Wendy had previously bought. That only filled up half the garden area. We have three rows and we're planting everything about a foot apart. Wendy still has some planters that she's waiting to sprout before planting. Next weekend I'll we're going to a gardening show to pick up some more things. Hopefully I can get a yellow bell pepper, some more cucumbers and perhaps some onions?

I'm making a garden

So my roommate and I decided to dig up my backyard this past weekend to make way for a garden. It was somewhat a spur of the moment idea, so hope got some tools and starting digging up the grass. Hopefully it will happen because digging up my backyard would otherwise be a really stupid thing to do. I'm hoping to plant bell peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes. Wendy wants to plant zucchini and herbs. Any other suggestions? Tips on organic gardening?
