A Gardener, I am not.

This is what happens to tomato and pepper plants when left in 95+ degree weather and with no water. On the third day I did water. I am hoping they will make it.

I was lucky to get two tomatoes and a handful of jalapeño peppers. Now I need to think of something I can cook that will use them. Any suggestions? (Keep it on the easy side, a cook I am not)

Gardening by container…

I wanted to share my little garden…in containers. I purchased my first tomato plant at Wal-Mart. The packaging said it was good for patios, so I got it. Then a few weeks later I found a cherry tomato plant that was good for containers, so I got that one too. Then I also brought one green pepper plant and one jalapeño plant. I am excited that all four plants are alive and producing fruit and vegetables. And for those of you who know me, I tend to kill any plant that I have. This year I have done well, so for only one casualty.

Here are my baby tomatoes, they look much bigger here than in actual life.

I should have many cherry tomatoes from this one.

 And here is the casualty; it was a pretty purple violet plant.
