Getting Ready for Our Summer Garden
We are growing banana peppers, sweetie tomatoes, purple Cherokee tomatoes, eggplant, lemon basil, and Italian basil in our hydroponics units that will be moved outside to our garden next month. Flowers in our milk jugs are getting big. Snow peas and spinach are growing, and our chives are in bloom!
