If you follow my blog, you know that Jacob and I did a project where we painted some flower and plant pots for mom. In addition to the flowers, we also planted a cherry tomato plant as well as a jalapeno plant. Here is that original link:

We then did not do a great job of maintaining them, so they were struggling and not looking so good. Here was the update link:

Since they were not doing well, we decided to plant the vegetables in a more permanent location against our back wall with some other plants, which all get regular water from our sprinkler system… in other words, we ditched the plant pots we made (now sitting idle in the garage again) and made life easier on ourselves.
I am pleased to report that the plants are now doing great! Spring is upon us, and we are already getting some ripe cherry tomatoes, which Jacob has enjoyed picking for mom. We also have a handful of jalapenos growing, and one was harvestable yesterday, so while Mom was making chicken enchiladas for dinner, so we gave her a jalepeno to add to a few of the enchiladas for those who wanted to spice theirs up a bit (like me 😇). Here a couple of pictures:
Gardening has been a fun thing for Jacob (and yummy for us all) and he has enjoyed watching the plants grow!
Thank you for stopping by!
