Nothing yet from the tomatoes, so I planted a bunch more seeds. Lesson: don't put whey (from cheesemaking) in your garden if you have dogs. Whey is acidic and excellent for tomatoes, but dogs LOVE whey.

| We have no tomatoes today. |
Carrots looking really good.
That's a little sage plant in there with the carrots. They're supposed to keep away carrot bugs.
Potatoes! From my friend Jenny. You can see where I labeled them on the pallet. I love that about the pallets.
My cilantro from seeds - has a little baby sprout.
My wildflower memorial garden for Pedro and Sheila. I also put some oregano I got at HEB in there.
And beautiful lettuce and squash.
I really like this pallet with its three sections.
 |
| Romaine Lettuce - it looks like lettuce now! |
 |
| Mystery squash - won't know until it produces which kind it is. |
Nothing from the watermelon yet
Regular cucumbers
 |
| Pickling cucumbers - notice the label. |
little baby basil sprouts
something was eating on this cabbage
One thing about the garden is that since it's above ground, it needs lots of water. I think the pallet helps to shade and keep some of the water from evaporating unlike in a fully open bed. With the drought in TX, I hope these guys will hold on and grow! Granted, I got drought resistant varieties of all that I could get.
That's my update. Enjoying my little pallet garden. It's really low maintenance.
