Yes, that statement is very true…it did all start with a simple little patio tomato plant. I have always wanted to try having a garden. There is just something about growing food that I find very exciting! I decided to get the little tomato plant so that sister and I could have a little project of learning to water and care for the plant. I thought that she would really enjoy it. Well, the tomato plant is actually producing little tomatoes which got me super exited that it had lived long enough to bear fruit and that I had not killed it. It gave me hope that maybe just maybe I could have a garden (I know two totally different scales we are talking pot to plot but I was really excited). After consulting with a friend and dragging another friend around to a few stores, with full intentions not to buy anything yet, I came home with the startings of the garden. I made a small space in the yard and got everything into the ground and we shall see what happens. I have very high hopes but I am just excited to start and whatever happens happens. I figured that I would try this year and next year I will have a much better idea of what to really do and maybe I will make the area a good bit larger next year as well. I had to bunny proof the area really well as we have bunnies-o-plenty around our house. I feel that most of the money went into the caging and gating of the garden but it will be worth it not to have half eaten veggies. I planted a lot for not knowing much so hopefully in a bit we will have some tomatoes (Roma and Big Boys), Jalapeño Pepper (gotta make salsa), yellow peppers, green peppers, squash, cucumbers and I am trying from seeds carrots as well as okra (I don’t have great hopes for these but we shall see). So there it is! I will keep you updated on the goings on in the garden. Hopefully all will grow!
