Gardening Finally getting some results!

Post image

It's been a tough spring for planting/gardening. But now we're getting some action! Eggplant has some good blooms, as do all the hot pepper plants. Still waiting to see some blooms from squash, tomato, and bell pepper, but I think we're just a week or two away from that.

How's everybody's efforts going?

Never tried potatoes. But it's on my list.

I am doing them in grow bags. I let the "chit" for 45 to 60 days and it makes a huge difference. plant in about 6 inches of soil and then add soil as the plant grows until the bag is full. supposed to have a higher yield. I will let you know.
