Home Garden Update

Here are photos of the Home Garden.  I moved most of the plants to bigger pots so they have more room to grow.
The Tomato Plant is doing OK, but it looks like the leaves are getting sick or a bug is eating them so my husband gave it some bug killer.  Unfortunately this means my tomatoes will no longer be organic so I need to plant a new one and look for Organic solutions so I can keep the bugs off my plant.

The Pepper Plant is doing awesome.  It still has no peppers but it does have flowers so soon we should have peppers!!  I use them to make Sofrito and for Fajitas, Pizza, etc.  Yum!!

The Basil and Cilantro plants are also growing great.  The Basil smells great and is ready to pick.  The cilantro is ready to pick too but I was reading that if I dry it then it loses the flavor so I need to pick it when I need to use it right away.

The Onion plant is the only one that is not doing so great.  I am not sure if it is growing at all.  I will have to read up on it and take a look.  I moved it to a smaller plant to see if that will help it.

 The Picture below shows (Left to Right) the Forget Me Not, Chamomile, Rosemary, and Cilantro plants.

Stay Tuned for more photos of my Home Garden.  Hopefully soon we will have Peppers and Tomatoes so I can show pictures of the actual veggies.  I am thinking about planting a Strawberry Plant too.  We shall see!! 

Home Garden Update

Yesterday, I transplanted three new plants I planted indoors at the end of March 2010.   See post on those plants here.  I took photos of the Tomato and Green Pepper plants I planted at the end of February and they are looking so big.  See my Onion, Tomato and Green Pepper plants below. 

I planted new Chamomile, Forget Me Not, and Cilantro plants (these are the empty pots you see in the 1st photo).  I will post an update once they start showing some life.
See photos below for Rosemary and Basil plants.

I am so excited about this Garden.  I am praying it all goes well.  I am especially looking forward to the Rosemary plant as I can use the branches as skewers and make nice yummy Chicken skewers with Rosemary.  :o)

Home Garden Update

I had posted before that I am starting a home garden to grow our own veggies and in the future maybe fruits too.  So far I have a tomato plant and a Green Pepper plant going.  See photos below.

Today, I planted Basil, Rosemary, and Onions.  I will post photos once they start to grow. 
I will need to transplant the Tomato and Green Peppers plants in Mid April outdoors.  I will continue to update and place photos of the plants after I transplant them and as they grow and produce veggies. 
I am very excited about the outcome. 

Planting some Veggies

We decided to try to plant some veggies at home to grow our own. I started with Tomatoes and Peppers. I planted them indoors during late February. Now they are a bit tall but they will get planted outdoors next month. I will post pictures so you can see our home grown veggie garden.
I would like to later add some onions and even some fruits and herbs. I think this will help save some money on produce and if possible we can grow organic produce at home.
