  • 20 X 5 Raised Garden

    Here's my little 20 X 5 raised garden that Andy made for me last year. A few weeks ago I sowed some green beans, peas, and radish seeds, along with some onion sets. A few days later, I planted a few tomato, squash, cucumber, and pepper plants.



    I try to get the most with what little space I have. Since it's a small garden, I buy my tomato, pepper, squash and cucumbers as plants because I could never use all the seeds that come in a packet.

    Here's my 3 pepper plants, one bell, one banana and one jalapeno. This will be plenty of peppers for the 2 of us.



    3 tomato plants, one Better Boy, one Cherry and one Early Girl. I would love to have a Mr. Stripey, too, but don't really have the space.



    A few onions and the radishes to the right.



    Here are the peas and green beans at about 3 weeks after sowing. Once the peas produce and are finished, I'll pull up those plants and plant more green beans.



    This year I decided to try planting cucumbers in the upside down "Patio Garden" planter that really didn't work last year for tomatoes.





    And here's the only critter I have to worry about keeping out of the garden. This is Honey, or sometimes we call her Bunny or Bunny Bread.






    Thanks for looking at my little garden

      Thanks, CA. Mr. Stripey is a tomato that is half yellow and half red variety. They are very good but I couldn't find any plants when I was ready to put out my garden.

                        Looks like a real nice garden. I can't raise hell with a pint of whiskey on my place. Too much alkali and soggy hard clay.

                            You are all so far ahead of me. I won't put my tomatoes out until at least May 15th. It is snowing here today!

                              She is a very good girl, but the garden gets the last bit of sun in our backyard in the afternoons. She likes to lay in the cool dirt in the sun shine.

                              No, she's not vegetarian. She loves a good t-bone steak just like we all do. Yes, the tomatoes are hybrid. I'll save you some seeds if you want.

                              Yeah, I'm surprised Andy let me put that on her or hasn't taken it off and replaced it yet.

                              Never heard of Talladega maters. I'll have to Google that.

                              It's really a sweet tomato with less acid.

                              That's about like my parents. They tell me every year, not to put out plants until after Mother's Day.
