How we decide what to plant



When we go to plant our gardens we think about what we like to eat.  Here are some ideas for gardens:

Salsa garden: tomatoes, onions, garlic, tomatillos, cilantto, regular peppers (bell, banana, pimento), jalapeños , cherry peppers.

Herbal/tea garden - raspberries (I love to dry the leaves too), mint, catnip, borage, basil, oregano, chives, chamomile, dill, parsley, sage, thyme, lavender, lemon balm, and rosemary.

Salad- lettuce (variety), spinach, radishes, carrots, beets, cucumbers, beans.

We don't usually grow potatoes or peas because they are so cheap in the stores.

Extras  - zucchini, watermelon, variety of pumpkins, corn, sunflowers, zinnias, variety of squash.

Fruit - boysenberries, strawberries, raspberries, peach tree and two apple trees.

I did get an eggplant plant today because it was on sale .  -smile-


We love it when the grandkids come out.  They came to see the gardens, animals and learn to crochet.  They are working on single crochet stitch and making a scarf.  They had been practicing just make a chain before. 

Yesterday we got a downpour of much needed rain and the last for a while.
