My garden, week 3.

I meant to post these pictures Sunday when I took them. There's already a big difference between today and Sunday I think. They seem to be growing like crazy! Sunday night my dad and I put up a trellis for the cukes.

Look at how bushy and big the cucumbers in the back are getting!


Front view of Earthbox number 1.


Look, little buds on the peppers! I think this is the cubanelle.


And here's the tomatoes in Earthbox number 2. I kind of expected them to be growing a bit faster.


And here's the tomato in the pot. Which is doing a lot better than I thought it would be! I need to take a picture of its nice, thick stem next week.
And earlier this week I was worrying that the peppers were dying... they looked wilted. Weird.

I think my garden is doing well! My cucumbers died (like I thought they would) so I replanted with new, healthier-looking ones.

Here's the peppers and the cucumbers. Well, you can kind of see the cucumbers. One of the pepper plants already has little buds on it too! I got a trellis that I have to rig up for the cucumbers.

Here's the roma tomato and the cherry tomato. The roma has some light brown patches on the leaves, but it's still looking healthy. I think I'm going to have to tie them to their stakes soon... or do I wait until they start to fall over?

And here's the last roma. Looking good!

I planted my "garden" today. I have two Earthboxes and one planter.


In the first Earthbox I have two groupings of cucumbers, which may or may not make it (they're very floppy), and a hot banana pepper, a red bell pepper, and a cubanelle.

In the second Earthbox I have a roma tomato and a cherry tomato.

And in the planter I have another roma tomato.

I wish I had done more research on the Earthboxes because after I planted I read their forums which provided a lot of good tips that I would have liked to know. Oh well, we'll see how everything turns out! Stay tuned.
