Slacking isn't even the right word to use here...I'm basically ignoring my blog...not purposefully, believe me! Things have been insane and I have been out there working it in the real estate world. I did recently take a trip out to Grant Park, IL, to Wagner's and Sunrise, and I wanted to write about it and share the beginnings of my garden this year with you!
I bought TONS of flowers this year and filled the entire trunk! It's hard to stop once you get started!
I brought them home to their "adjustment period" in the garage (and my car has to "rough it" outside for a few days!) and here are some pictures from that:
A lot of the green, leafy ones are veggies. This year I am growing jalapenos, yellow bell peppers, red bell peppers, candy onions (sweeter than vidalia!), of course my famous grape tomatoes, and a huge assortment of herbs!
Here are some of my supplies - I use the organic dirt for all my veggies and herbs because I grow them in pots and don't want them exposed to any unhealthy stuff! I use the garden soil with fertilizer in it for my flowers that go in the ground.

Here are some of my herbs: peppermint, chives, basil, parsley and the orange one in the right corner is my cilantro! I am also growing green beans and sugar snap peas from seed! And of course my green onions! Yummmmmmmmmm!
What are some of your favorite things to grow in your garden?

I was so happy that it was humid outside today because my plants were not very happy being in the garage!!
ReplyDeleteohhh ... how much we all miss the flowers & veggies that thrive in the midwest... and are doomed here on the desert. I see a LOT of "digging" in your future. thanx for the pix. auntie nancy xo
