This morning I was able to plant the remaining plants:
- The Little Gem Lettuce
- Fine Verde Basil
- Genovese Basil
- And, a free gift from the good folks at Baker Creek Heirloom Seed, Thai Pink Egg Tomato! “Delicious, grape tomatoes from Thailand, “The Land of Smiles!” The crisp pink fruit are bursting with natural goodness, sweet and rich. This tomato is popular all over the Kingdom. The brilliant pink grape shaped, 1 oz. fruit are perfect for fresh markets, restaurants and more! Good yields and fruit is uniform.” That was a nice surprise.
The big question mark is how well will these plants do? The porch isn’t necessarily the best place for plants. It gets pretty good sun (when it’s out), but it isn’t ideal. Next year, if we can get into a house, it’ll be nice to have a larger garden. Even so the Earthboxes would be nice for a kitchen garden or other plants in areas that can’t otherwise be planted (decks, concrete areas, etc).
Now we’re waiting for them to come up and get large enough to transplant. Outside everything is growing like crazy with fresh leaves, buds, and flowers. I’m looking forward to seeing our plants develop.
