Planting my new veggie garden tomorrow :) - General Gardening - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Lt. Dan · 04-07-2009, 05:15 AM

Bought some bell peppers ( a few variety & color), some tomatoes, some hot pepper plants, and some cucumbers. I've got about 40 plants total and I'm ready to get them growing

This is my first time to plant a veggie garden.

Good luck to you! The kind folks here can help out with just about anything you can think of. If you're going right into the ground, rather then containers or raised beds, you may be able to contact your local extension service and have your soil tested....this can help you ensure proper nutrient levels for good healthy growth.

good for you ltdan. I grew up on a organic farm/ vinyard in Rhode Island. I now live in So. Cal and miss it so much. It's a big part of why I need to head north. We grew strictly organic and even had some vegan/org. stuff. Super fulfilling.

I'm going to take some pics when I'm finished but I only got half of my veggies planted yesterday. I'm going to finish the garden this weekend and then I'll post some pics. I'm sure I'll some questions along they way. Thanks for the advice.

I've planted 95% of the veggies I bought and they look great. I'll post some pics this weekend. I'll be overgrowing the neighborhood with peppers soon enough.

I thought I'd update with some pics. My garden is growing like crazy. Especially with all this rain water.

2 tomato yellow plum growing very well. My fence is 7 foot and they've almost reached the top.

Sweet 100 tomato with some red in there

Vegetable orgy in this pic. Some roma & champion tomatos and hungarian banana pepper in there somewhere.

Mariachi peppers growing strong

Green bell pepper starting to grow

Cucumber going crazy
