Last fall, I was at a community garage sale and came across this patio planter. I’ve never planted a garden of my own, every flower plant I’ve purchased has died. I bought it anyway – let’s try this out… what’s the worst that could happen. As my Memere would say, gardening / farming is in my blood, it’s bound to work – just pay attention.
I’m use to the Vermont growing seasons, which is much, very much different than Texas. I’m going into this completely blind. With the help of a friend, I became a little more knowledgable and exchanged a few baby plants. Texas has two growing seasons, one in the spring and one in the fall. The summer the only thing you can do is cook and egg outside, it’s just too hot. My start had to being in February / March. I probably should’ve even started before this.
I began my plants, mostly from seeds, except for the tomato plants from Two Mom’s and a Kid and strawberry plants which I just had to replant. Green peppers, parsley, cilantro, lettuce all started from seeds. Yummy!
So with the help of my mom from this past weekend, we spruced up my patio garden a bit. Hopefully these little guys will really start to produce. We even added some cilantro to the mix! Now I’ll just dream about the deliciousness of these herbs and veggies!
