Chocolate Pepper (purple & sweet), Green-Bell Pepper, and 2 stalks of corn
3 tomato plants (2 full-sized and 1 cherry tomato plant)
Once again I got to plant my in-laws garden this year! It was a blast and I really enjoyed getting outside, digging in the dirt, and making their garden gorgeous! It's growing beautifully, I must say! Ha ha! Anyway, it got me to thinking how much I wish I had a garden of my own! I wanted to buy planter boxes but they are pretty expensive. My mother-in-law gave me the great idea of using good ole'fashioned $3.00 toters! So, I did just that! I bought me 2 toters, 4 large backs of Miracle Grow, 2 pepper plants (1 purple sweet pepper & 1 green pepper), 3 tomato plants (2 full-sized & 1 cherry tomato), and then to be funny I planted corn. I really didn't think they'd come through but, I looked outside and we have 2 stalks of corn coming up and are growing fast! In fact, I think there's a third one that has popped through! So, I'm super excited about my so-called "garden". I treat the plants like children. I move them all over my backyard, all day long, to make sure they get at least 8 hours of sun! That's a great workout! Anyway, I can't wait to see the "fruits" of my labor!
