Step #1 in getting my life back is planting my garden. A full 5 weeks late, but hopefully I'll get some production before the first frost...
22 tomatoes (a few different varieties)
12 peppers (green bell, yellow bell, "fajita", poblano)
also- zucchini, yellow squash, cukes, lettuces and arugula (in the shaded part of the plot), lima beans, parsnips, kale, pumpkins, butternut squash
I also planted an adorable Thai chili pepper plant (the tiny little peppers are several different colors from chocolate to orange and red) in a pot since it is too decorative to tuck away in the garden. And another planting of basil and cilantro as well.
Tomorrow I'll mound straw around the base of the tomato and pepper plants for water retainage, and maybe get marigolds planted around the outside of the garden fence.
Then I sprayed a heavy dose of Liquid Fence around the perimeter to keep out the hordes of deer and rabbits...
The back pain is pretty intense now, but it feels so good to get this done and I cannnot wait for fresh produce!
