It's that time of year again in the Heritage CDC Learning Garden, spring 2013. We have planted something old, something new, something borrowed but I don't think there is anything blue. We planted 3 different hot/sweet peppers, 2 banana peppers, 2 green peppers, 2 cucumbers, 2 tomatoes and 2 squash. We moved the celery we were attempting to re-grow to a smaller pot to make room for the cucumbers. The DandyLions also helped plant pink Begonias in our flower boxes and then helped water everything! The helpers were rewarded with an opportunity to grow something for themselves...garlic. Don't know if anything will come of the attempt to grow garlic in small pots but as we've come to learn, any mistake made in gardening is really just an experiment. And while we are on the subject, we've "planted" 20oz soda bottles in the containers as well. After making holes in the bottoms we placed them in the soil hoping that when we fill them with water the water will go straight to the root of the plant. Couldn't hurt to try, right?
Once again, we pray for rain to fill our rain barrel so we can use good water to water our plants and we pray that God will bless our efforts so we can help others.
