End of the year!

Garden Girl Here,
It is already the end of the year, and of course my tomato plants waited until the end of the year until they were ready to be planted. Hopefully I can plant them somewhere soon, because these are my special exotic tomatoes. I will keep you posted on their growth and if I do plant them. I don't have very many other plants at the moment, but I am managing to keep my garden almost weed free. Among those few plants are cucumbers, radishes, dill, and bell peppers. Hope to have new produce soon!

My New Site!

I have a new website for all of my animals now, so if you want to hear about my animals here it is: A3clucker.webs.com Very creative Huh? Hope you like it! You can click on the link on the side to go directly to it. It is called the Franch.

Oh The Weeds...

Garden Girl here, I come back to my garden after not being there for a very long while, and as I look over my garden I realize it looked very much over grown. So with about three hours I got my garden nice and clean.....and maybe I kidnapped a few ladybugs along the way :) I harvested some swiss chard and radishes and some very humongous beets! I also planted some beloved tomatoes and peppers. Hopefully my peas will grow back again soon. The summer weather is coming fast so I need to get my summer crops in fast! Wish me luck!!!

New Transplants!

Garden Girl Here,
I have tried my hand at planting and raising my own transplants and have just finished planting them in bigger pots, and what a big success it was indeed! Almost all of them came up peppers and tomatoes alike and only about six didn't out of 95 so I was very happy to see that. Hopefully as they grow bigger and stronger soon they will be very ready to be put in my big garden and join the rest of my already growing plants! I will keep you updated on the status of my new plants and maybe even try and post a picture or too! Hopefully I will soon be up to my nose in tomatoes and peppers!

New Poll

Try this new one!

More Crops?

Garden Girl here,
The county fair is coming up fast and i need things to be ready for fair as well as for home made things after, so I am working on starting a new set of tomatoes, and peppers, and for fair I will be entering dill, beets, swiss chard, and hopefully radishes. I really hope that these new plantings come up and grow strong so keep your fingers crossed, and wait for the next update! (p.s. we won't put them in the garage with the crickets this time)

Jack Frost

Garden Girl Here,
Jack Frost struck again this year, killing off cucumbers,peppers, eggplants, and squash all throughout our 4-H garden! I had harvested some green tomatoes before the plant the grew on died that were still good, and I am now selling them to raise money for more exotic seeds! I decided to keep the tomato plants seeing as they hadn't died off completely, but we will see how they do. Hopefully everything else will do well now. I planted a couple more transplant peppers just because they had lived through the frost and all mine had died, it looked as though something had chewed on the and ate off all of their leaves! Wish me luck with the rest of the "winter" weather.
