Actual veggies 15 months ago

I thought for the longest time that I wasn’t going to get any vegetables at all. My plants are all stunted because we didn’t do enough to prepare the soil for nutrient-loving vegetable plants. But there are tiny eggplants and peppers growing on my stunted plants!



Peppers 17 months ago

The peppers finally went in the ground yesterday and with the help of my husband and his nephew, we mulched the whole garden.

Three out of four of my eggplants have disappeared—my best guess is it’s rabbits chewing them off nearly at the ground. One of them is attempting to recover, but the other two are just gone.

My New Zealand spinach seeds seemed to be completely inactive, but when I was down close enough to the ground to plant the peppers, I found little tiny sprouts that might be New Zealand spinach.
