This is all about my garden and how I make it grow.

This is what I have done in my garden and my yard to try to make it grow and be as beautiful as it can be.

My Backyard Garden


If you are wondering what those bottles are beside the tomato plants are, they are water spikes with 2 liter bottles on top of them. I am trying an experiment this year. I placed water spikes beside the plants as I put them in the ground this year. I am hoping that I won't spend half the day watering the plants like I did last year. I am suspecting that we may have a HOT HOT summer. Last year I did it with my butterfly bushes that I started from seeds and they survived and grew very well. This year I planted tomatoes and bell peppers. The bell peppers are from a carnival mix so I have no idea what color they are going to be. We are going to have some cold weather tonight so I hope that the plants will survive the cold. It is suppose to get in the low 30's. I am going to cover the plants and pray that the cold does not kill them.
Also today I potted quite a few amaryllis plants. I think it was a total 24 or more. The thing is I have another 30 sprouts and another 4 seed pods that are ready to pop open and day. The seed pods can have as many as 75 seeds or possibly more.
