Garden Fresh

Between the heat wave and lack of rain I have struggled to keep my container garden watered. It finally rained yesterday; when I peered through the precipitation something red caught my eye.
 
 

Our first ripe tomato!


A little salt, a little pepper; Matt and I enjoyed our garden fresh tomato.

Summer Garden

I planted tomatoes on Wednesday. I had bought them on sale at The Home Depot over a month ago, but it's only in the last few weeks that I felt they could withstand our Michigan weather.


I am not sure where I am going to put in my raised garden, so I am using containers this year. I planted one of the tomatoes in the bag of soil because I ran out of planters. 


Since my mom is growing larger tomatoes such as Beefsteak, I picked three smaller types: Early Girl, Roma, and Hybrid Cherry.


I want to grow a couple other vegetables this year. I bought a cucumber plant from the Jackson Grand River Farmers Market yesterday, and I hope to get a pepper and zucchini plant in the next few days.
