Getting Ready to Plant My (portable) Garden




The heirloom tomato plants I purchased for this summer are sitting in the front window waiting to be placed in their permanent portable home.



Nothing is being planted in the ground this season, because I would like to take the fruits of my labor with me if we move. We have tomatoes, peppers, carrots, herbs, zucchini, cucumbers, and beans all to be planted in portable planters, so we can still enjoy fresh vegetables in the midst of the uncertainty of things.



This is the one I am really looking forward to, an 1800's purple tomato!

My Gardens So Far...

"What's with the voodoo?", Craig asked. It isn't voodoo. They are egg shells, sprinkled around the plants slugs like best. I need more. Omelets for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!

The slugs have practically destroyed my pepper plant. I bought another one just in case. The zucchini plants need thinned out, but I am waiting to see which plants do the best first.



I was a dork and put my tomato plants in one of those hanging things to keep them away from the rabbits. They are doing well, but aren't getting as much sun as they need up on the porch. The plan was to move them to wherever the sun was throughout the day, but that thing is heavy!
