We are almost at the 30 day mark and things are growing really well. I noticed the tomato plants were getting tall and drooping, so I recycled two tomato plant cages from my sister and bought two from Ocean State Job Lot. You can also use bamboo sticks tied with pantie hoes my sister told me. I see little yellow flowers on the tomato plants which is a good sign.
I feel good about the decision to create a self sustainable garden so I can teach our kids that vegetables do not come from Stop and Shop and Whole Foods. Learning about tilling soil, nutrients, and PH in the soil is very important for optimum growth. As I was watching my favorite TV Show Restaurant Impossible First Lady Michelle Obama discussed the importance of teaching our children healthy living. The executive chef in the White House had an amazing garden which is harvested year round. They put in solar covers for the winter months which keep the heat in.
In the other section I decided to grow some grass two weeks ago. We had a tremendous amount of rain which helped start the grass.
