How Does Your Garden Grow?

Happy Easter Everyone! We hope you have enjoyed a nice day with your friends and family.
This weekend we planted some things and I am very excited! I wanted to document my veggies to see how far they go...as in, how long it takes them to die! Just kidding...hopefully. I tend to have a lethal green thumb so plants are somewhat daunting. With produce prices sky high and urban gardens being all the rage, I decided to do a couple of container "gardens". We also wanted to start out small before building a raised bed in the backyard. Think of it as a test! In one container I planted tomatoes with some Creeping Jenny in front. The other has bell peppers, a cuc and some Creeping Jenny. We are going to give the Topsy Turvy another go with a cucumber plant. This time Ashley is not allowed to pour Miracle Grow in! Pretty sure that is what killed the little cuke we had going last year. Fingers crossed!
