Entry for April 23, 2006 – Spring Vegetable Garden

For the very first time, I actually planted vegetables in the soil at our house. I am only using one 4’x8′ raised bed because the soil in the other bed is still packed clay and grass. I haven’t conditioned it enough to use yet.

in bed:
3 tomotoes
3 peppers
2 cucumber

in 8 pots:
5 squash
2 okra
1 tomato

in hanging pots (topsy turpsys):
2 tomotoes

We bought most of the plants from Home Depot, but their selection was limited, and many of the plants looked weak. Lowe’s had better selection and healthier looking plants. I installed a new irrigation zone, and ran poly tubes to all the plants for water drippers.
