Vegetable Garden 2016!
First year I have the opportunity to have a vegetable garden and I am so excited!
Neighbor tip - bring your seeds outside before putting them into the ground to help with the shock!

And my adventure with the seeds didn't go all that well.
Carrots and basil that I grew from seed and the cherry tomato plant I bought were all that survived.
No worries, greenhouse down the road and a generous neighbor filled it right back up!
Beef Steak Tonato
Basil
Plum Tomato
red cherry tomatos
cucumber (2)
green pepper (2)
onion (12)
carrots (2 & and 4 seeds planted!!)
parsley
peas (2 & 2 more seeds)
Jalapeño pepper
Next year I will know better. Wait till Memorial Day and just go in on plants with neighbors 😀.

Note to self, take the advice and thin out the carrots to prevent odd shaped growth. Also wait until you can see orange before pulling.
Peas could have their own square, 4 with little cage all their own. They are delicious, fast growing and pretty small. Have to grow them from seeds 😀.
The tomatoes are booming, so many green ones on the vine. I had to move the one in the container out to get more sunlight. It was in the shade and I don't think it was overly happy.
No cucumbers or peppers that I have seen yet.
Basil and parsley has already gone to good use!

I am a online health coach who loves having a healthy life style.
It's hard to find something outside that makes me as happy as beautiful flowers and veggies growing.
I LOVE bringing in fresh cut flowers and having a juicy tomato and basil salad from my own garden!
