Planting Day in February

 Today I ordered 12 burlap sacks - I plan on planting 8 potatoes and 4 sweet potatoes.  We've laid down cardboard in between the large bed and the south and east beds - and that will be the sack/container garden.  I've planted some herbs in there as well.  :)  Here are some pics from the current garden.


The last blooming sunflower

The row of sugar snaps

We have baby cauliflowers!  

Tasty lettuce we have 3-4 good producing plants, and a ton more seedlings coming up

Here's a nifty trick... when you get scallions from the store, instead of throwing them away, just put the bulbs in an old jar with water.  When they've grown a little green stalk, throw them in the garden!  These are some we got from publix back in November.  They're doing great (better than my seeds, I should point out)


This is not in the garden, but from a lovely flowering tree nearby... I've never seen a flower like it!

The tomatoes had grown in on themselves, and were in pretty sorry shape, so I staked them an fertilized them... not sure if they'll bounce back or anything, but if they keep producing, I'll let them keep growing.
