Time to start the salsa garden. We have enjoyed creating a salsa garden in the past and its time once again to get it started. Step 1. Drag 8, 5 gallon containers out of the shed. Step 2. Buy a mixture of top soil, Vigoro potting soil and Miracle grow, potting soil. Step 3. Mix the soils together in a wheelbarrow and fill containers. Step 4. Go get more containers out of the shed because you have too much dirt.  Now I just need to get some pepper and tomato plants |

These seeds have been sold by Burpee for some time. I started using them a decade ago. See link for all the varieties of pickle bushes. You will want to cage or trellis them like tomatoes to keep them upright. www.burpee.com/vegetables/cucumbers/bush-cucumbers/ |

The salsa garden is really perking up with all the rain and the recent warm weather. Tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers are all flowering, radishes, cilantro are doing great as well.    |

At this rate I might be eating salsa in July. I should have waited on the cilantro. Or find a use for it other than salsa.

Z, My dad grows a one acre garden next to his house, potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, pickles, squash, pumpkins, ground cherries, corn, beets, onions, cabbage all the normal garden stuff, he still grows a big garden as if he still has 8 people around the supper table to feed and my mom still cans. He has to lay low on the gardening this summer so my brothers are tending it for him, he just got home from the hospital from having the 80% blockage removed from his carotid artery in his neck. He seems to be making a good recovery.

Ive been lucky that no pests have tried to eat of of my plans on the patio but I think the rain made everything so lush they are not hurting for green stuff to eat.

Once so far I used a little liquid miracle grow in the watering can but we have had so much rain I havent had the need to water much.
