Three tomato plants & one red pepper planted
-
I stopped by Sweet Organic Solutions yesterday to see what Donna Faye had for sale. She said it’s not too late to plant tomatoes again so I bought three plants and couldn’t turn down a red pepper plant. My green peppers had a great crop and now have about 20 plus blooms on them for round two, but I dont’ have a red pepper in my garden. I was impressed that the pepper was so large on such a tiny plant. I planted the tomatoes at the base of my cattle panel trellis and the pepper next to the okra. For care in the rest of my garden I sprinkled bone meal around everything and watered it in the soil. It is a great source of nutrients for the soil and I remembered tomatoes love it.
On Thursday, I had a wonderful fourth of July with my family. We ate and talked, the kids swam and we watched the fireworks. My son-in-law took a four generation picture so I thought I would share it. We didn’t plan the colors but I have to say the red, white, and blue is perfect! ha! It seems like just yesterday that I was holding my daughter in my arms. Loving life and feeling so blessed!

Nice pictures of the plants, but really nice picture of you and family. You must have a really good camera. How deep are your growum boxes? I thought you would need more room for the roots.
My boxes are 8 inches deep. I get asked that often but I don’t have any problem growing in them. Most plants stay in the beds for about 3-4 months so by the time it is finished producing the roots still have plenty of room. I hope that helps. I have a Nikon D90 and mostly use a 50mm 1.8 lense.
wishing you the best,
Melanie
