It has been 3 weeks since I planted the first stage of my garden.

This weekend I plan to do stage 2. I would love to get started started on it sooner but I have too many other things on the schedule that sadly it will have to wait till then. Thankfully most of what I plant doesn't take longer than 90 days from plant to harvest so I have a few more weeks that I can plant.

Garden after 3 weeks in the ground

If you forgot how big it was last week here is a photo from week 2

This one was from the day they went into the ground day 1

I should have some tomatoes and peppers forming soon

As today I noticed both of those plants are starting to flower. It won't be long before it starts to produce yummy food formour tummies. And before anyone asks yes I could have spread things out but I chose to use recommended minimum spacing so I can produce more food to share.

I am thrilled my heads of lettuce are thriving

I was told these can be harder to grow than other types of lettuce and when I transferred them I got slightly worried cause at first they seemed to struggle but as you can see they are thriving. I plan to plant other other types of lettuce this weekend.

I can't wait for fruits and veggies from my garden

Things taste so much better out of the garden. I love knowing what I am actually putting into my body. I don't use chemicals on my gardens and try to plant things that act naturally to keep bugs and pests away. So far the only thing that has been touched is my basil and after this weekend those rabbits won't have access to it anymore as a tiny fence is going up.

Growing potatoes is like buying a mystery box

As in the fact you never know how many you will get from the plants. Then you got to dig for them. These are red potatoes. I plan to plant russett potatoes this weekend. I am so excited to get the 2nd phase started.
