And a Couple More Things!

Oh, how you've grown from the early days!

I made my first foray into true garden territory again today. I had to be out and about, so I swung by Lowe's. I couldn't resist, really. I didn't do too much damage, ha ha!

I got a couple of different types of tomato plants. Boy, if anyone had told me six months ago that I'd need to buy tomato plants, I'd have laughed myself silly. Isn't that the way it always works though?

Also got another pepper plant. This one already had a bud on it, and while I don't want to jinx my luck with the ones I already have (hands down, got my money's worth on those two babies!), I figure if they all grow, that's even better! Then I will *always* be assured of having my own peppers in the freezer  :D

And then... I indulged in some seeds. No squash - not going there again. I got some bush beans, and some spinach. I still have some carrot and lettuce seeds, so I'll see what the tub and pot tally is this weekend and go from there.

No more dirt yet. I have almost a full bag, and some more manure. And the dirt that's out there... most of it has worms in it, lol. So I don't want to toss it out and start over. Those worms worked hard to get in there! I'm guessing they did, anyway, ha ha!

I also did not yet indulge in the treated plywood. Believe it or not, the stuff that's out there seems to be holding up really well. So that's a plus!

What I think I might have to replace are some of the tubs. Apparently, plastic doesn't always do so well constantly exposed to the hot sun and rain and all that, lol. One cracked, but just around the edge that rings it. Another cracked a little on the side. I'm being very careful when I do have to move those. I think they'll make it through this season, but the replacement costs are going to have to be figured in if I keep up this gardening thing. 

So that was a good part of the day! Pictures tomorrow of the 'mater plants and such. And fingers crossed, I'll be able to get stuff mixed up and planted this weekend.
