I have already begun our garden down here in South Texas. But I have decided to make changes to it before it gets too late into the season. You can track our garden under our project page as well as on the blog. I will try to blog a couple days a week about the garden. The square foot garden won’t be started until next weekend but the container garden is well under way. The tomatoes in the buckets are doing fantastic. Monday they will receive their first dose of liquid fertilizer. Hopefully by Friday I can get the tomato cages for them. I have started some new tomato plants indoors as well as ordered 12 more from Jung Seed. I should have 28 plants total in another month or so. I am interested to see if the Tree Tomato that I planted actually produces the 60lbs of tomatoes that it claims.

Now what will you do with all the tomatoes? Can them? Sell them?

I think we are going to can some of them and sell the rest to help pay for next season’s garden. I have always wanted have a small veggie stand and sell them so that others can enjoy what I have grown.

Sounds like a plan … hubby and I love the small stands. Produce is always so good. I wish you well with this endeavor! :-)
