I got a half of a packet of yellow cherry tomato seeds planted a couple of days ago and a half a packet of peppers too. I planted them in the little seed starting trays with some good potting soil and carefully watered them. Good thing I covered them with a pillowcase because that night it got down to 40 degrees here in the desert southwest! We have one more day of sunshine and then an atmospheric river is coming out way Wednesday night and all day Thursday. I do have some California poppies sprouting out front and I'm hoping this nice rain will get them going further.
I'm so glad that I got my garden up and going this year. I have a feeling we will ALL be bartering for things we need soon. I remember my grandfather's garden. He owned 2 lots and half of the 2nd one was for his garden. He grew green onions, tomatoes, rhubarb, beets,cabbages, turnips, radishes, corn, and even had an avocado tree. He had another plot up at my parents' yard and there was a fig free, boysenberries, and a small garden with crops. I remember my parents giving me a bucket and sending me out to pick boysenberries. I certainly wasn't a fan of figs, however!
I'll try to get some photos today of my garden to share with everyone.
(((BIG HUG))) to everyone and... STAY STRONG!
