I Got Beans, Greens, Potatoes, Tomatoes!


Last week I was unable to transplant any seeds into my garden due to the threat of Hurricane Irma. Thankfully, I weathered the storm safely and so did my garden bed. This week I was finally able to transplant seeds to my garden. I began by clearing away any debris that Irma blew into my garden and flattened out my plot. Talk about back breaking work! I mean so far this gardening thing has been WAAAYYY more work than I anticipated. Any who, after that I picked the plants that I wanted to grow. (I actually should have planned this out a little better, because your girl was actually just picking stuff.) I decided to plant shell beans, grape tomatoes🍅, carrots, lettuce, jalapenos, cayenne peppers, and bell peppers (or as we say in Louisiana, sweet peppers 💚). My instructor just insisted on me planting some radishes because they grow faster, but your girl doesn’t eat radish. I am in no rush to harvest foods that I don’t eat. Remember patience is the key to gardening. However, I may go back and plant some other vegetables that I eat at a later time (after better planning of course). OH AND EGGPLANT🍆! I did plant an eggplant, how could I forget about that!? I am so excited to see how my garden flourishes over the next few weeks. I am probably going to start checking on her maybe three times a week to ensure a plentiful harvest. Stay tuned on my journey. As always. . . 

Peace, Love, and Veggies!
