Veggies oh my!
>> Friday, May 15, 2009
I went to a local market to get my veggies to plant and some flowers. It is so much cheaper there, I got a flat of veggies for $9 that is about 48 plants (I think). These are plants that are already started and growing well. I got several different tomato plants because I want to freeze a lot of tomatoes this year for winter cooking.
I also got squash which I don't really eat but thought I would give it a try. I got an eggplant, never had it so will give that one a whirl too. I bought peppers, and some onions to cook with and freeze. I got two more blueberry bushes to plant. I love those! And lots of other stuff. My family are not veggies eaters so I will be growing, freezing and disguising a lot of my veggies in the foods we eat. I have been reading bunches about baking, cooking and hiding veggies.
Next year I would like to expand out and but I am going to try to keep things a little simpler for myself this year. This summer/Fall, I will build up my lasagna planting areas and next spring have a little easier time planting, as well as planning during the winter for my areas.
I am home, still sick and coughing but I want to go get some air and get started...the only problem the looming clouds, and thunder storms rolling my way. So I guess the planting will wait until tomorrow and the bedroom cleaning is going to happen today. Everyone is still sick but we got to keep moving even if it is a little at a time. This flu is hitting everyone hard this year.

Went to shelton's. Got a flat of marigolds for 8 bucks too. And the blueberrys were 4.49 each good looking ones too. Yummy. I wanted to plant so bad today until it started to poor.
It's going to look good once you get the planting all done... and those are great prices on the veggie plants!
I hope you'll share photos...*hint hint*
