Gardening

I planted a mini garden this year. Skyler helped out as I am rather limited in my ability to squat, kneel and bend. He we have the master gardener preparing for carrots.

In my quest to loose more weight, I really need to have fresh salads. How much fresher can you get than walking outside your front door and picking a few leaves?

I do not know how long that the plants will last before they go to seed. I hope a while because the salad was very good and satisfied me for several hours.

The following clip is a mini tour of my mini garden. I have just enough dirt to keep me busy.

My neighbor told me about these upside down plant holders. As the tomato plant grows and bares fruit, you just pluck off the ripe ones off the vine. The roots are kept warm and moist as well.

Since I do not have that much room, I thought I'd try to do this kind of planter with summer squash as it has a tendency to take over the ground with its expanding vines. I have planted seeds in the bucket, but they haven't sprouted yet. Somethings take forever. According to Skyler, a week is a long time to see just bare dirt.

As you can see I have Super Man who likes to help in the garden. He loves to water the plants and spray down the sidewalk.
