I know nothing about gardening and even though my parents always had a big garden, I always chose jobs inside rather than outside. Thus, I never really learned and have been a bit scared to try. In the past 13 years of marriage, it has always been my intention to grow a garden. As with many good intentions there was always a good excuse for not gardening. (pregnancy, new baby, moving etc.) This winter (yes, in San Antonio we have to think about gardens in the winter) I had another solid excuse for this not to be my gardening year. (Hurray for baby number 5!) However in about the middle of March, my oldest, Joshua, decided to use his allowance to buy plants. (Dang allowance) So he bought plants and I bought the soil. We decided to plant a container garden. We used some buckets that we had and not knowing anything about what to do, planted away.
After about a month, our plants were flourishing! This was amazing to me, but I was still not convinced that they were going to produce anything. And then we found some small tomatoes!
So far we have a bunch of banana peppers some anaheim peppers, some jalepenos, and 2 tomatoes. Sounds like it is time to make salsa!
