Earlier today I doubled the size of my garden by adding two new crops: spinach & cherry tomatoes. The day began with a trip to Lowe’s where I purchased the seeds, a bag of Garden Soil, and a box of Corry’s Slug & Snail Death. The total price was around $15. The cashier informed me that tomato plants were on sale for $.50. I responded that I don’t like to cheat at gardening.
I had already turned & raked the soil a few days prior, so when I got home I was ready to plant. This time around I was a little wiser (see previous post) and actually followed the directions on the back of the seed packages, only putting 2-3 seeds in each hole. I then watered lightly around the fresh plantings. Once the soil is dry, I will lay down some of Corry’s Death in a perimeter around the plants. Slugs be damned!
With my newly expanded garden, I now have the ingredients to a killer salad. I guess now I’ll have to start eating salad.
