Hoping for Green Thumbs

Last weekend we finally got some plants in the ground between all of these April showers. Lots of rain, lots of mud, and not a lot of sun so far. I hope they aren't drowning in their new beds already. We need them to survive long enough to show off in August!

 [Grower's Outlet is amazing. I went back to the check-out twice because I kept finding new plants.]

 [Our little (h)erb box. So looking forward to no longer wasting grocery store bushels.]

[These bad boys were the only plants that came with actual markers.]

[For the rest, I had to take a photo of each plant next to its pot so that I could remember which is which. Upcoming project - plant markers across the board.] 

[The beginnings of a banana pepper. I predict that this little guy will be solely responsible for homemade pizza explorations.] 

So far, our garden consists of: 3 Tomato varieties - Better Boy, Celebrity & Whopper (hehe); 5 Pepper types - Bell, Jalapeno, Banana, Poblano & California Wonder; and lots of Herbs - Mint, Rosemary, Chives, Parsley, Basil, Sage, Oregano, & Cilantro.

There's still some room in the herb bed, so we'd like to add cucumbers or peas or some other type of veg soon - might be best to make a list or something to keep myself on track at the outlet. And I overlooked Thyme - a very important part of Gordon Ramsey's Steak-101 - so that needs to get in there asap. But, it's a start. Glad to finally have J's hard work being put to good use.
