Garden

Our container garden has been doing great!  For being our first year of attempting to grow anything, we've been super happy.

GG sent us this stacking planter.  The boys and I planted seeds in it - cucumber, green onion, cilantro, jalapeno, and green bean seeds.  And they all took off.

We planted way too many seeds in each section.  I ended up taking all but one cucumber plant out from the top layer.  We bought some new pots and put the extra plants in four more pots.  We've had some cucumbers already from those.

I took all the green bean plants out from the bottom layer and put them all in their own pot.

Then I separated the jalapeno plants and split them up between the bottom two layers.  I also had to just throw some away because there were so many.

Our strawberries are still producing fruit (usually a least a few strawberries a day).

The grape tomatoes have done awesome.  And we've had enough regular tomatoes to add a slice on hamburgers when I make them for dinner.

Carter has become my pepper eater.  He loves them sliced and to dip them in ranch.  The gypsy peppers are his favorite.

The zucchini and cucumber plants that Jen's mom gave me are doing awesome.  We've had zucchinis to add to the chicken curry I make.  And Brian and I snack on cucumbers almost everyday.
