Finally! A Garden Update..

It’s been forever, I know..  And I have been gardening all along…just focused on other things, ya’ll!   Mainly blogging, working, looking for more work, my daughter moved in…all kind of things…

It’s storming like crazy here tonight…but in the kitchen;

Lavender, Cactus, and strawberries.

New strawberry leaf

Strawberries, finally flowering..

Baby Lettuce, a few of these I will let grow into heads, each one will give me months of lettuce…and in the meantime I eat delicate little baby lettuces sprinkled over thick tomato slices (which are still blooming and have ripening tomatoes on them outside). 

Purple peppers are still blooming and have ripening fruit, too.  They, like the tomatoes, have fared WAY better in sub-irrigated containers, made out of 5 gallon buckets.

Here’s the cucumbers, growing up a chain by my front door..

Basil and thyme are doing great…

These beets greens just keep producing for months as long as I keep taking the outside leaves off to et for dinner..

Most of these plants will come inside under the grow lights soon…but for now, they’re doing great. The lowest the temperature has gotten here is 41 degrees so far and it didn’t faze any of them…
