Ok, so, CONFESSION!!!!! I had made a big time fail, so I have been reluctant to share the garden that me and the boys did with everyone. I felt so embarrassed to post the disaster I did, BUT, I stepped back and took another look and decided, 'hey I didn't kill them all, only some' and, we do have some growing plants and there are MORE seeds. So, this morning I went out and took pics and decided to share our garden growth so far.
Some of the pots I just planted new seeds in and some are starters. (Ones that I had planned on buying that way from the beginning)
These are cucumbers
These are sunflowers that Ryry and I planted about a week ago.
Not sure what this guy is, buy I am thinking it is lettuce. It just sprouted up one day with the watermelon that I replanted in a disposable pot.
This is watermelon. I just love how they sprout and open up!
These are some of the little seedlings that I replanted (way to early-which is part of my epic fail) in the disposable pots
Yellow pot are newly planted seeds. Red pot is Zucchini. (which I almost killed, [SORRY GENA], by not transplanting it soon enough) Green pot is Banana Peppers and Basil.
This is what our little greenhouse looks like now after I reeked havoc on it!
Another sunflower with water droplets. I just loved the way that this looked with the drops resting on it.
Well, I am just glad to say it wasn't a total loss and, most importantly, we still have stuff growing. I still have so much to learn about container gardening, and it is now where near as easy as gardening in ground like I am used to. But, I am determined to make it work!
See you all back here next Wednesday
XOXO

lol!!! Glad the zucchini lived!! Yes, the mystery one is lettuce. Your cukes are doing great!! I know you have minimal space. did you know that you get can a tomato cage and grow your cucumbers "up" instead of "out"? And I would just wait a while on replanting those onions.
ReplyDeleteAnd that's great that you put the peppers with the basil - they are good "companion plants".
There are hundreds of sites for companion planting, but here is Wikipedia's:

You always want to check before planting items with others; or even "near". So, since you are limited in space, there are certain things that you would want to put at the opposite ends of the patio.

LOOKS GREAT!
