April 13th 2013 Garden Update



Our weekly garden update. As you can see things are growing right along. We are getting temps in the 80s during the day and 50s at night. At least one full day of rain a week. We are still having a problem with corn so I planted 6 corn plants in a plastic tote so the "pest" doesn't eat the tender young leaves. So far it hasn't touched anything else. This week inside I planted June bearing strawberries, bibb lettuce, spinach, collards, cabbage, brussel sprouts, broccoli, parsley, and sunflowers.
Today I started a big old pot of blackeyed peas which I do have a recipe for and this time I used a smoked ham bone.
Outside I planted 4 green bell pepper plants, 2 eggplants and one brandywine tomato. I will plant the rest in a few days till I see how these take. So far so good. Okra is next.

Thanks for everyone who has been subscribing to our youtube channel. We are almost at 100 subs. When we get to 500 I will see about having a giveaway. I was thinking maybe fall seeds to grow in your garden. I might throw in some spices too.
