Finally got my garden box planted!! I had a free hour Sunday afternoon and tackled it pretty easily.
In the front right hand corner is some oregano that my sweet mom-in-law bought me this past weekend. (Look! I planted it Sunday, just like I said I would!) In the middle in the front, I planted some basil seeds. (I have basil growing in a pot, but it’s not growing very well, so maybe a do over is in order… or maybe I’ll just have twice as much!) And to the left in the front, I planted chives seeds. The middle is currently bare (why I planted the outsides first, I don’t really know), but as soon as I can get to Walmart, I plan to buy some spinach and lettuce. And last, but not least, along the back I planted my tomato plants!!
There’s even a baby tomato growing on it.
While that is very promising, something that has borne real fruit (or veggie?) was my potatoes! I only harvested one of the panels, because when you dig in the side all the dirt falls out. It’s hard to get it back in and keep it there while sliding the holder back into the pot if you disturb more than one side. BUT… there were 2 potatoes!!
And to encourage my oregano to branch out, I plucked some of the ends off to use. We even used them in some burgers for lunch today.
I’m optimistic about my little garden. Maybe I can even remember to water it tomorrow!
