My First Garden Attempt

[rodriguezpoultry]

This year is my first time to try a garden. I've got spinach, leaf lettuce, tomatoes (1 Celebrity, 1 Better Boy, 1 Early Girl and 1 Patio), 1 jalapeo, 1 mint and countless onion, peas and green beans!

So far lots of sprouts from everything! Also have some silver corn! Yummy!!! Hope it makes it! I have no green thumb but really want fresh veggies to eat.

I'm fertilizing once every two weeks and watering daily. My dad taught me to put my finger in to te second joint. If I feel moisture, don't water. If I don't feel it...water the plants. Really excited to see if this works! I have one jalepeno growing on the plant and four tomatoes growing on the celebrity and patio tomato plants!

Good Luck and enjoy every moment in the garden :tools and every savory bite later! Keep us posted.

Way to go, just jump right in! Sounds like you'll have a nice garden and lots of fresh veggies to enjoy this summer. Your dad gave you a really good tip. It's better to water them well, instead of frequently and that's a great way to check. Mulch is good too. Have fun!

Thank you! I've lived in apartments for the past 7 years. We moved to PA and I planted stuff the fourth day here! I just hope we're able to reap what we sow before winter! This is my first time out of the south so getting used to lots of things at once!

Talk about not knowing what you can do until you just go get your hand right into it!

Way to go!

It's fun gardening isn't it! I am doing my first garden also and I am beginning to get the results of all my hard labor!
