Weekly garden update

I’m really wishing for Spring and this is a bad time because I tend to plant to early hoping I can force it to come sooner. I planted some mild jalepeno seeds  in some starter pots in doors. According to my calculations though it should be about right to get a head start on the growing season! I even have a bin all ready for it!!! I’ve learned that when you chop them up and fry them you can then freeze them. They make great addition to dishes all year round that way so no need to worry about having too much and having them go to waste!

I also bought a rose bush today at Costco. I’ve been wanting to replace the climbing rose I had that never really did well and finnally died. The only trouble is the wild root stock that it was grafted on to didn’t die and I have these ugly little wild roses. They aren’t really that ugly but in comparison to the hybred roses they just don’t measure up. I sure hope these are as pretty as what’s pictured but first I need to figure out where to put them. That wild rose as a LOT of thorns!

Here is a snap shot of my tomatoes starting to bush out in the aerogarden!

Teeny weeny tomatoes

Gosh these are so cute! Literally handfulls of tomatoes 🙂

These are red current tomatoes and are indeterminate. It took me a little while to pick all these and there are literally hundreds more on the plant. Besides being incredibly small they are really sweet in flavor. I think they would be great in salads or anything you want to throw a little tomatoe into.

Another thing they are good for is hanging baskets. I have one plant in a hanging basket and it has many flowers but no fruit yet.

Here is a link to someone I think beat the size of mine. Look how she has them right inside a thimble!
