No really, it is. I promise.
When I first started writing about my vegetable container gardening, I had no idea I’d want to do it so frequently. So I apologize to those who have already had enough of it, but I can’t really help it with things moving and changing so rapidly as they are.
It’s been only about two weeks since my last post about this, but the garden looks drastically different now.
The tomato plant, a Green Zebra, which had been uprooted and thrown all about has made a great recovery.
I’ve got some other healthy looking tomato plants, too.
Those above are both from seed. I also picked up an Early Girl tomato plant a couple weeks back and it’s already starting to produce.
If you go back and look at that last post that I mentioned, you can see that the potato plants were just starting to break the ground.
And now, two weeks later..
These have been my fastest growing plant so far. They are just huge already.
I can’t wait to see what comes out of that dirt.
I lost a couple of the soy/edamame plants to rot as their soil stayed too moist, but the others are thriving. The soybean plant is a vine so it’ll grow all up and around the railing.
So I’m really happy so far with what I’m seeing. Already, even at this point, this is more success than I’ve ever had with *any* plant, let alone this many. I’m retaining a “believe-it-when-I-see-it” attitude towards results I’ll actually be able to eat, but we’ve been eating salads (lettuce and radicchio) from the garden for awhile now – there is enough to eat for 2 just about every other day. Though I expect the heat will put an end to that soon enough.
Bell peppers are really ready to eat any day now. Maybe I’ll have one tonight. The black hot peppers are a little slower going.
And at the wife’s request, I had to get some flowers in there somewhere.
Things are just getting warmed up and I love it.
