Adding to the Garden....

Once I planted the garden last week, I realized I had some room for additional plants. This week has been an adventure in finding the additional plants.

I needed about 4 more tomatoes, so I ended up purchasing a 9pk of Beefsteak tomatoes. I only planted 4 of them though! We now have three varieties of tomatoes in the garden (Early Girl, Better Boy and Beefsteak), totalling 15 plants! I apparently didn't get enough tomatoes to eat or give away last year...so we're trying for more.

We also had space for about 1/2 row of something, an additional eggplant and one more banana pepper plant. These proved to be an adventure.

I found nothing of interest at Lowe's while I was buying the tomato plants, so my next stop was Farm and Fleet. They had nothing in their plant area, but I was able to pick up some radishes. Note to self: Mondays are not a good time for plant shopping. My partner in crime, Ryan, searched some stores and found an eggplant, but still no banana peppers.
