TIRE GARDEN TIME AGAIN!!!

Heidy-Ho, Blogging Buddies!!  Welcome!

Well, it is that time of year again... when sad, discarded tires are revived with fresh soil and compost in preparation to become the bearers of wonderful goodies from the vine!! Hooray!! A few photos for you to check out as the garden begins its 2013 season.





 

Two tires are planted with flowers this year...

... to allow the soil to "rest" from tomato crops.



The Persian Lime tree budded out beautifully!



Satsuma bloom detail... all five trees are loaded!!


One month later, the flowers have shot up (as has the fennel planted with them to deter squirrels!) and it is warm enough to put the 'mater plants in the ground!!  Trying out the latest from Gardeners Supply Company called a "Tomato Halo" to see if there is an increase in crop this year.  Will let you know!


Flowers and Fennel

Happy Tomato and Sweet Pepper plants with red mulch


Cherry Tomato plants close enough to munch anytime!
 It looks like we're ready to grow!  Hoping for lots of sunshine and proper amounts of rain...

Until next time...
