Well I trimmed up the existing flowers, roses and pulled weeds from the front flower beds, planted some new rose bushes and also planted most of my vegetable garden this weekend. I almost forgot I also pulled a bunch of weeds from the narrow corridor behind the house Now I just have a bit of touch up on all the garden beds plus some clean-up and pressure washing of the concrete in the back and toss a few more items then I start inside of the house & garage!
This year in the vegetable garden so far I have planted, jalapeno peppers, habanera peppers, Portugal hot peppers, green, red & orange bell peppers, beef steak tomatoes, yellow pear tomatoes, red cherry tomatoes, pumpkin, yellow straight squash, zucchini squash, red okra, green okra, black beauty egg plants, collard greens, black eyed peas, cucumbers, lettuce salad mix of seeds, snap peas, bush beans and some items I am sure I have forgotten. I just hope it will be a productive year after last year letting the raspberry & grape vines over run everything!
As far as the flower garden I added some nice variety of roses since I’m tired of doing different annuals each year. I added a Black Baccara rose bush, a White Honey rose bush and a Twilight rose bush that has dark violet hues. The Black Baccara will have red buds with heavy black tinting, while the White Honey will have a snow white looking flower along with the Twilight nice additions to the gardens with my other pink, red and orange roses!
A few pictures show below show current progress but once everything is in full bloom watch out vegetable & flower gardens will be rocking this year!
