Continuing Garden Adventures 6/23/2012

The tomatoes are growing in my garden and even the one small San Marzano tomato plant, (that seeds were dropped from last year) now has some flowers on it. There are also a few other Italian tomato plants that have small tomatoes on the stalks. A few tomatoes may soon be ripe, but not many. The cayenne pepper still seems to be doing the trick with the groundhogs. I found a few beetles on my basil plants in the last few days and just late this afternoon also put some cayenne pepper on the basil plants to see if it discourages the beetles.


Another member on pizzamaking.com posted a link to places in the US that might have problems with tomato blight this year. My county is listed on the chart, so I sure hope I don’t have problems with tomato blight, but will have to wait and see.

Gardening for pizza, some veggies, and the perennials I love..5/24/2011

I try to garden each year, but my garden is small, because I really don't have that many people to eat what my garden produces.  I have started tomatoes from seeds other years, but this year just purchased plants.  My tomatoes, herbs, and veggies are growing nicely so far, but I guess the groundhogs ate some of the tops off of my tomato plants.  I will make some tomato sauce for pizzas out of some of the tomatoes.

I also love perennials and like to watch them bloom different times though the spring until the fall.

These are only a few pictures of my garden and some of the perennials.  I need to get outside and weed and mow the grass as soon as it gets drier.  I love to work outside and try to as much as I can find time to.
