Investment

Here's this year's investment (rounded to whole dollars):
  • $25 for new variety of garlic
  • $78 for onions, asparagus and assorted seeds
  • $22 for plants below

Total so far: $125

The plants we purchased were:

  • 24: Ace peppers
  • 6: banana peppers
  • 6: hot peppers (not sure of variety)
  • 6: San Marzano tomatoes
  • 6: grape tomatoes (not sure of variety)
  • 1: peppermint
  • 1: lemon balm
  • 1: thyme

The weather is still iffy, so we're waiting to plant the peppers and tomatoes until this weekend. Mint and lemon balm are in a whiskey barrel. Can't figure out where to put the thyme. I have some issues with bending, and I'd like the thyme to be raised off the ground for easy harvesting, but most of the raised areas are too shady.

So far, we've planted seeds for: cucumbers, swiss chard, spaghetti squash, yellow summer squash, butternut squash and green beans.

We're still trying to figure out where to plant the basil (seedlings growing on a windowsill now, but too tiny to plant outside), sunflowers and carrots. And I'm not sure the space allotted to the tomatoes is big enough.
