Oops, I did it again...(sorry Britney)
Well, I just couldn't stand it, so I went to the store and bought FOUR more buckets and some more soil!
As I mentioned in the previous post about us starting this new adventure, this time of year it's hard to find many plants at the garden centers, other than tomatoes and peppers. But we do use a lot of all of those so...
...we added a Bonnie Bell green pepper, and another tomato, a Celebrity (also determinate). The green bell pepper is one of the most common for backyard gardening and the tomato is another good one for our hot and humid climate. I got both buckets drilled, filled (with some mesh in the bottom and some gravel) and veggies planted and watered. They are happy.
And so are we.
Hey, it's the little things in life, right?
They look beautiful. With container gardening, you'll be able to move them if they start burning in the dog-days of summer. If you can find some of the smaller varieties like cherry and grape tomatoes, you might buy them. They can tolerate the heat better and continue to set fruit at higher temps than the larger tomatoes.
ReplyDeleteThe pepper looks very happy, but the tomato 🍅 looks a little cell shocked, so I hope it comes around!
ReplyDeleteI love the suspense of wondering ... what's next?
