Picture of the day!

Our early morning junk run went pretty well. After 5 garage sales 2 flea markets and a boat load of laughing the "BLUE BULLET" (moms truck) was full again!!!

Oh I came home with some pretty rose bushes too I'll show pics later the roses are huge!

Flea markets usually have great looking flowers and for great prices.

Early Morning Run!

Good morning to ya! Taking our morning run to find some junk so wish us luck. Here is the bed of our truck now and hopefully it will have something in it soon so check back and see what we found.

(by the way this is by no means the pic of the day lol)

MY 1ST GARDEN

Remember when I said that my herb garden opened up another can of worms well it did and here it is.

MY FIRST VEGGIE & FRUIT GARDEN!!!!

(on the picnic table so our dog doesn't get to it)

1ST: WANTED ORGANIC
2ND: WANTED TO START SMALL
3RD: SOMETHING EASY TO MAINTAIN
4TH: A WAY FOR THE KIDS TO GET INVOLVED

I searched online how to start a patio garden or veggie container garden and this is what I found.

You want a type of veggie suitable for growing in small spaces or containers "pots".

KEY WORDS TO LOOK FOR:

Cucumbers: Salad Bush Hybrid, Spacemaster, Bush Pickle

Eggplant: Bambino, Slim Jim

Green Beans: (Pole beans give a higher yield in a small footprint) Blue Lake, Kentucky Wonder, French Dwarf

Green Onions: Beltsville Bunching, Crysal Wax, Evergreen Bunching

Leaf Lettuce: Buttercrunch, Salad Bowl, Bibb

Peppers: Frigitello, Cubanelle, Sweet Banana, Apple (Hot) Red Cherry, Jalapeno, Robustini

Radishes: Cherry Belle, Scarlet Globe, (White) Icicle

Squash: Ronde de Nice, Gold Rush

Tomatoes: Patio, Pixie, Tiny Tim, Saladette, Toy Boy, Spring Giant, Tumbling Tom, Small Fry

I ALSO PLANTED OTHER VEGGIE AND FRUIT THAT WASN'T ON THE LIST AND THEY ARE DOING GREAT. Brocc., strawb., brussel, bell peppers, blue berries, ect. so don't be afraid to try.

Lowes had a great selection off this list and more.


NOW LET'S TALK DIRT!

I wanted organic so Walmart carried larger bags than lowes of the MIRACLE GROW ORGANIC POTTING MIX (make sure it is for a container garden not a ground garden it makes a difference if your not sure ask)

Last but not least I have no green thumb by no means so don't be affraid to try, like I said start small and enjoy it.

HAPPY GROWING EVERYBODY!!!!!!

BIG GUY

Picture of the day is this big guy. We went to the zoo during spring break and fell in love with him so when we went back to the zoo yesterday I had to take a pic of him. Too cute with his sheet on his head and snuggling with his towel.

MEMORIES

Herb garden

Well, here it is my 1st herb garden!

What they looked like after planting

1WEEK LATER......little Miss Basil arrived

Isn't she the cutest little thing!

Few days later little Miss Basil had company

Today growing like a weed!!!

Truthfully I didn't think I would care about my little garden after a few day's but I get sooo excited each day I see them grow more and more and to think that some day soon I will be using fresh herbs that I planted in my recipes.

I'll show you at a later date what other can of worms this herb garden opened up. My husband thinks I'm nuts but just wait and see.
