We decided to plant a garden this summer or it might be more accurate to say that we stumbled upon this gardening project. We have talked about planting one for a couple of years but there was always something holding us back.....brown thumbs (mine), vacation time (veggies need lots of attn.), and laziness to name a few. The girls came home from a fun day at New Garden Nursery with a green pepper plant as well as a tomato plant. Good veggies to start with we thought so Noah got started building a small raised bed and we added basil and jalapeno peppers. There have been many hot peppers and basil in our kitchen this summer but we cannot do anything with the others. I am not too concerned because others I know seem to be having similar problems with some of their plants. Maybe it is not us! We fertilized the tomatoes and that has spurred its growth but we have yet to eat a tomato from our gigantic plant. Yes, it is huge but not producing red tomatoes. Everyone is in on the watering and Sadie could not contain her excitement the other day when we saw 2 red tomatoes. We are going to enjoy those tomato sandwiches yet!!!!
