How Does Your Garden Grow?
May 23, 2010
Last weekend we put in a small garden. Before we belonged to a CSA, we would grow lots of lettuce and tomatoes, plus some peppers and sugar snap peas. With the farm share, though, we get more lettuce than we can eat, so we held off on planting any this year.
We did plant several varieties of tomatoes, a black bean plant A. started growing in school, sugar snaps, and a couple of hot peppers. We filled in the rest of our squares with some flowers A. chose. I’ve never had flowers in a vegetable garden before, but we had the room and I like seeing them as I pull into our driveway.

We have a garden on our balcony & Allie loves it. Picking her own vegetables encourages her to eat them. Basil was her favorite last year (weird). Jalepenos do VERY well in full sun if you have it. Last year we got over 80 from 3 18″ high plants!
