I was looking for nearby yard sales on craigslist when I happened upon a gardener's dream come true: herbs! fruit! veggies! $1 per plant already sprouted with soil in a little Styrofoam cup! I just had to stop by and I ended up picking up 5 plants. They are all grown at home by this guy:
http://www.therustedgarden.blogspot.com/ Apparently he does the sprout sale once a year. Not too shabby at all. I ended up picking out these bad boys:
 |
| Cucumbers |
 |
| Bell pepper- California Wonder variety |
 |
| Cayenne pepper for my spice-loving fiance |
 |
| Green zucchini! Two plants that should really spread out. |
 |
| Aconcagua! Which is.. apparently a type of sweet pepper that's long and narrow |
|
|
All and all, I'm terribly excited. I might need to briefly re-pot them before I plant them since we're moving in a few weeks and it will take some time to build and secure the raised bed garden of my dreams. That is, if a raised bed is even possible. I might have to plant the garden on the sloping side of the house due to the sun- the house faces exactly South-East and I doubt my future husband wants tomatoes on the front lawn.
Total money spent gardening today: $5.00
Grow grow grow,
Christine
