Tomatoes

We have 4 Tomatoes!! I came in last night super excited and told Robert, "We can make a Salad!!"

Right now are tomatoes are still very green and very small and our lettuce is still growing, but still very small. So I guess we could have a mini-salad.


Last year I planted tomatoes, and had huge tomato plants, but never a tomato.

I tried to get pictures of our garden and future salad, but I am sometimes pretty camera stupid and that was the case this morning. I took about 10 pictures and then Robert said something about the wrong lens and then made fun of the fact that I didn't even have a card in the camera. (You would think a camera that smart would tell you there isn't a card)

Robert said he will take pictures tonight of all our blooms and tomatoes :) I'll post them!

Blooms

Our veggies are blooming, which means veggies soon. We have flowers on the tomatoes, squash and cucumbers. However, none of the peppers are blooming, I'm not quit sure why that is, but I guess we will wait and see.

:(

Only 2 of my Thyme plants in our indoor plant sowing box have made it. I think it is due to all the rainy days the last couple of weeks and the fact that we really don't get much sun inside the house, because our house faces North. Hum, have to figure out for next year were to put our plant sowing box. So, I planted the 2 surviving Thyme plants last night.

Our Hibiscus adventure was put on hold with all the rain on Saturday. Sunday, while Robert was out taking graduation pictures with our niece and nephew I attempted to pull up one of the monkey grass plants. No success. So, I gave up and decided that I will have to have Robert pull up the monkey grass, which I'm sure he's excited about!

Roses

Nana bought me some rose bushes, Red and White Roses. We have a pink rose bush that sits in the garden that sits in front of one of the living room windows. We are thinking about putting the 2 new bushes in front of the other 2 windows.

Spicy Mixture

I made the Oil/Soapy/Spicy mixture this weekend and sprayed the plants. Let's see if the bugs still come around.

Garden Day 15

Flowers mean veggies are coming. YAY!!

Beans, the white stuff is the soapy/oil/chili spray I put on the plants.

Garlic

Inside plants, probably need to be planted outside soon.

Busy, Busy

We have the Camp Rosales Garage Sale this weekend, so not much gardening is going to happen. Although, I'm thinking about asking Robert for some Hibiscus plants for Mother's Day for the front yard.

We currently have 4-5 monkey grass plants in the front yard that are each bigger then your head. They are HUGE!! We really don't like the way they look and they take up a lot of room. We want to pull those up, put them somewhere else (who knows where that will be) and put Hibiscus plants there.

A couple of years ago I pulled one of the Monkey Grass plants out of the front and put it around our front tree. It took a while to get the plant out of the ground, then I somehow cut it into 4 parts. It looks good now, but wow it was a challenge.
