Forest of the Plains

Last night I finally put the tomatoes and peppers into the big garden out back. I think the black plastic looks tacky, but it is helping mulch the garden area because I didn't have the foresight to get someone to till up the dirt. At least the bricks (from our house's original chimney) have some character!




Lettuce and spinach were planted in the kitchen garden 3 weeks ago, but only one side came up, so I planted some more of that last night too. I had put the herbs in two weeks ago.




Next up: I need to buy some stand things for the tomato and pepper plants. I also still need to get parsley and melons. And maybe some cedar mulch to put over the plastic so it isn't such an eyesore.
