| Tomato #1 |
It's not just my garden plot where things are popping up and growing. I have expanded to the deck outside the kitchen as well.
I planted some lettuce last week in a window box that is hanging on my deck railing. They're popping up like anything!

| Lettuce! |
Today I planted my first container tomatoes for the deck. I picked up a couple of seedlings at the local strawberry festival yesterday. I'll have to pick up some soil down at my garden to fill my other bucket so I can plant the other one. I am setting up a ceramic planter that was left behind by the previous occupant here at the house for some herbs - basil, oregano, thyme, and such. This way I can just grab what I need from the deck when I'm cooking and need fresh herbs.
The woman at the festival also gave me a Jarrahdale Pumpkin seedling. Jarrahdales produce a blue-skinned pumpkin with orange fruit. They are originally from Australia and are a cross between a blue hubbard squash and Cinderella pumpkin. I planted it in my three sister garden today along with some sugar pie pumpkin and some bean seeds. It should be cool to have some odd stuff popping up. I hope that I get some good fruit so I can save the seeds for next year.
