start an awesome veggie garden..eat and enjoy

Had too much in the garden today. I planted the part of the front, bright yellow flowers all along the stairs and planted purple pansy around the tree. As for the back, i finished planting the side of the garage with herbs and bought two more sweet pepper plants plus some lavender plants too, I have a few container pots or cilantro and of basil. I bought three more small cherry and grape tomatoes plants to plant. I I bought two hanging plants and made two more with flowers i bought and hanging container i got for 25 cents each. I also replanted grass seeds by my door way since its so blotchy. God i really do love it!
Things left to do…..
grass seeds behind the garage
Front of house flower garden right and left side
the actual veggie garden
Move over the wooden container to side of stairs and plant Raspberry bushes and some flowers too.
Front of house the little garden patch left side
Walkway on side of house- rack and plant shady seeds
steal neighnor (who moved out and hows no one living ther for over a year) big flower plant and maybe one or two raspberry bush,

well i started quite a bit today but not the main garden that i am leaving until my vacation in 5 days. But i did do the beds in front of my door with wild humming bird flowers. I planted two strawberry bushes and cleaned up the bed with all my bleeding hearts and planted some wildflowers in between. I planted to med size pots of some perennials and 4 smaller pots of flowers for the stairs. I planted two big pots with cheery tomatoes,and yellow baby tomotes 6 plants all together.
I did the side of the garage as my herb garden. I did lemon basil, sweet basil, 3x parsley, 2x rosemary, thyme, and banana peppers and baby chili peppers, i ran out for herbs so i need to go get 4 more packs…basil, mint, thyme, lavender.

I still have lots left thou, lol
I have the main garden which will contain three large tomote plants, radishes, green beans, yellow beans, peas, cucumbers, carrots, lettuce, onions and something else i can’t remember. Then i need to to do the front yard…not too sure what the plan is for that..i know i will do wildflowers for shady area around my tree and by the rock garden and on the left side of the house that doesn’t get much sun, I still have the front stair beds and the big bed in front of my window.

well i did a little work last week but could not do to much this week as i have hurt my back so have been unable to do alot of bending, lol. However i have almost all my supplies except for my tomato plants which i will by later in may. I have started to plan out my garden and did on of the sections for the flowers so far with my shady flowers. I had a lot of trouble with certain area so i am trying this shady Flowers around the yard and a bit in the front to see if i can get some flowers to show this year!

Well the snow is finay metingsohopely by next week i can start some prep work. Planning todo a liite each week and then go hard core at the end of may.
Starting toook at all the veggies and what not.
I bought red onions for the garden , but i wanna do tomatoes 2 or 3 plants, beans ( lots), radishs, cucumbers, green ionions, i also wanna get a respberry bush too. Hmmm,what else should i plant??

i thought i would post another pic of my garden so far. the tomatoes are doing good, i have a few baby tomatoes. the squash and zuchini have taken off and now have big yellow blossoms. my cucumbers have sprouted and are growing well, and a mystery potato plant just appeared! i think it was from the compost pile…

anyways, the ceyenne peppers aren’t so happy – i’m going to replace them with leeks and the carrots sprouted some but don’t seem to be growing very well so i won’t be planting carrots again.

all in all, the garden is coming along great. hows yours?

here’s the garden in it’s final configuration. the peas have come up, the cucumber is coming up, and the squash, zuchini, and onions seem to be happy. the okra and pepper plants don’t seem to be as happy for some reason…. to the back left are my tomato plants – well fondled :) hows yours going?

here’s week one of the garden, sorry it’s such a fuzzy shot but you get the idea!

here is the new home for my veggie garden. it still needs more soil, but today i will transplant those seedlings! i have squash, zuchini, tomatoes, bell peppers, ceyenne peppers, lettuce, spinach, carrots, potatoes, okra, and onions. i hope everything grows well! i used a lot of compost and organic fertilizer so i am hoping to get a bumper crop!

it’s struggling…but alive!
