tomatoes, spinach and lima beans got their starts today. i was a bit of a dough-head when transferring the tomatoes to their upside-down buckets and tried shoving the root ball through the hole instead of the soft bendible leaves. duh. i was able to get 3 of my 5 plants in the buckets today. need to pick up more potting soil and 2 more hooks for them to hang on. i'm also thinking about planting some small cascading flowers in the buckets tops...maybe nasturtiums.
natalie and i also carved out a small area on the side garden for her own veggie patch...she chose spinach, butterhead lettuce, carrots and lima beans for growing. she loves all veggies so it was tough for her to choose just four to plant. the Easter Bunny gifted her a nice gardening kit and she's putting it to good use.
