HOw To PLANTED SOME VEGETABLES

I did get some stuff planted!

I don't have the irrigation set up yet, I got it (see the picture from Saturday's post) but I didn't get to that on Sunday because of the rain so we're going to go with nature's irrigation this week and then next weekend, I can get that set up.

Raised Bed Vegetables and Herbs
I planted a few plants I got at a local nursery.  

 We're only going to plant in these four, for now anyway, to see how things go this first season back to planting and gardening.  We put in two eggplants, two varieties of Asian eggplant.  Then in the longer middle bed, we have Roma tomato, Homestead Heirloom tomato, and a Jalapeño.  The further bed at the end will be herbs.  For now, I put in regular basil, a purple basil and oregano.  Will add a few more next weekend, planting the herbs that we use most.
Chives in raised bed
This is funny...I was pulling weeds in this bed to just clean it up.  Mostly grass and other types of weeds but when I pulled a bit of this, I noticed the smell immediately.  These are chives from TWO seasons ago when we had some in this bed.  I thought they were gone but they just popped up again.  So I guess we have chives now too.  Nature finds a way!  

There is another raised bed (directly behind me in the top photo) that I may put some okra in.  And if I get a wild hair, might go for some yellow squash.

 Fingers crossed!
