Plant Update

Hiiii :)

Yesterday we planted some stuff in the ground. Also, a lot of stuff is coming up from the pots! Here are some pictures:

 Here's the corn, there's a lot more today!!

And these are the peas. There are also a lot more of these!

We didn't want to plant corn in a pot, we wanted to do it directly in the ground, but when we planted them in the pots, we didn't have a place for them in the ground yet. But we do now, so they'll have a nice home when they outgrow the pot! :)

 Tomatoes!

 And more tomatoes...

Peppers!

 The little patch on the left is onions, and there's also some onions in between the tomatoes.

 Tomatoes again!

Annnddd there's everything together. Yesterday was generally a productive day in the garden! :)

New seeds planted!

Me and my mom did quite a bit in the garden today! We still have more to do but we're saving that for tomorrow. Unfortunately, we had to plant a lot of seeds really late because we had no where to put them, but today, we planted corn, broccoli, carrots and we moved some mild jalepenos that we have growing in pots into the ground.

Here is the corn:

And here are the peppers we moved:

The other stuff we planted was too small to photograph.

But aside from that, we also weeded (is that a word?) EVERYTHING. There are now tomatoes on all three plants, which I didn't get to take pictures of because I didn't have my phone of my camera on me at the time. The bell peppers are moving slowly but surely. There are two little tiny babies on there. The red hot chili peppers are going crazy. They're big enough now, we're just waiting for them to turn red. 

The leaf lettuce is ready to be thinned out, which is going to be done tomorrow, along with planting cauliflower, some more onions, strawberries, and asparagus. We're also putting the watermelon plants in the ground tomorrow. The green beans and peas seem to be doing fine. The remaining iceberg is doing okay too, but we're going to plant some more tomorrow to make up for the ones we lost from the rain. 

The cucumbers are growing like crazy. We've already pulled four and eaten them in the last three days, and we pulled quite a few to make pickles with last night. We're going to be making them tomorrow, also. So we've still got plenty to do, but the garden is coming along nicely! I guess that's all for now!

New seeds planted & a pepper update!

Hello, hello :)

We planted some new seeds/roots today, so I figured I'd share!

First of all, we planted three strawberry roots in this window pot:

We have a few more to plant but we're not sure where were putting them yet.

We also planted peas: 

Green beans:

And Iceberg Lettuce:

They should all be germinated within the next two weeks, so we'll definitely be looking out for that. Also, we're going to look into mulching to stop the weeds. (Thanks for that suggestion, Robin!)

On another quick little note; look at all the baby peppers! (They're kind of hard to see...):

I'm so excited for these :)

The tomatoes have flowers and the bell peppers have blossoms, but sadly, they haven't been doing much lately. I know a lot of tomatoes don't come out until later in the summer, but does anyone know how long bell peppers are supposed to take?

Well, that's all for today :)
