So there are peas. And more peas. And more peas. I can't seem to NOT grow peas. I bought two packets of Pea Seeds at the Dollar Tree for .25 each. Those two packets have made about 10 pea plants total with more just planted. Remind me next year to only get ONE packet of Peas.
I do have a pumpkin and some lettuce sprouting! I'm super stoked about the pumpkin plant I babied those plants like I gave birth to them.
A person in one of the forums I've been reading for newbie advice said she had had issues with these pots as they didn't break up in the ground like they are supposed to. I'm not taking ANY chances with my plants so I will manually break it up before planting in the ground.
Here is my lettuce:
The weird little bugs I've seen around my plants at night when I water them don't seem to be eating the plants, but they do scare me. I work to hard to let a tiny worm-like thing take a liking to my Dollar Tree seeds.
Because my job is 2pm until 11pm I had to do some midnight gardening. Because my bone disease has advanced so much in the past few years getting up in the morning takes everything out of me. The other day I couldn't even stand up for 2 hours. It definitely isn't fun so I just take it one day at a time. Today wasn't such a great day either, but I did some midnight gardening after work. lol.
I trimmed the lower leaves off my tomato plants and added more soil then watered everything. The tomato plants are now taller than the container! I'm super proud of them and they SMELL like tomatoes, now if only I could grow some tomatoes. I'm scared the squirrels will go after them as they have done so in the past but I have a few things I'm going to try to keep them away. A friend of a friend told me to put some of my hair around the beds and they won't mess with them, and another blog I read recommended cut cucumbers in a pie tin. We'll see.
And of course here are some peas:
This is the same egg crate I had filled for almost two weeks and never got a bloom. I covered each one with new soil and started watering them twice a day and VOILA! They started sprouting like crazy. The two plants on the left are Radishes, the three on the right are Peas.
If nothing I should have peas this year. My potatoes haven't done a dang thing. My bell peppers look...sad.
I'm a complete newbie at gardening. It's all trial and error. I have no clue what I'm doing. If I manage to grow a vegetable I'll probably die of shock. lol
Tomorrow if my legs and hands will comply I'm going to TRY to plant a grape plant. I'm a bit skeptical about my hands, they are very weak still and numb (from the Epic Poisoning Incident).
Anyway all I can do is try, and I'm doing that in spades!

| It looks like something is munching the leaves but I'm not sure what. Either that or they are getting too much sun? |
