Little Missy Green Thumbs

Emma has had a couple of busy weeks in the yard. We wanted a couple of grow boxes to plant some tomatoes and other salsa ingredients, but needed to clear the space first. That was also the reason for the new gate in the fence.

Here is the finished product to date. Don't look real close at the boxes. I don't know what it is, but what looks like straight boards in the dim warehouse lighting at Home Depot, turns into boards that are smiling bigger than Telly Savalas at the end of The Dirty Dozen in the broad daylight. Not much to do at that point other than split the difference, screw it together, and hope it holds.

Box #1 with cherry tomatoes and some regular-size hybrids.

We put some tomatillos, peppers, and Lemon Cucumbers in this one.

Outside of the grow boxes, we put in a carrot patch. We are hoping to see some green tops within three weeks. Watch out for wascally wabbits.

Here we have Emma demonstrating the ever-popular jumping jack on our Spring-green grass. We will give the occasional photo update through the coming weeks (unless of course everything tanks). Ok then.
