Today’s “Growing Your Own” Update

The beds are coming along nicely. The root vegetables (carrots, radishes and beets) have all been planted, as well as the flowers and the herbs that will sprout between rows. The tomatoes have also been pruned a bit. The only thing missing at this point is that small section in the front right, where the peppers will go.

The peas were trellised this week (a bit too late, but I’ve been busy!) and the evergreen blueberry bush has been planted in a wine barrel container.

The baby peppers were dropped in their coconut pots into 4 in plastic pots, while the taller ones got a bath in the sink to remove aphids from their tops. The peppers will be heading into the outside garden soon. I also harvested the top of some of my basil plants.
