Pepper & Tomato Garden Update 5/25/2011

SOLD OUT OF TOMATO PLANTS FOR 2011! Thanks to everyone who purchased tomato plants this year. The response was AMAZING! As most of you know, this was our first year selling heirloom tomato plants. The following pics are the last of the tomato platns before they were sold. Oh I think there is 10-20 extras somewhere, but who knows. Basically everything left is getting planted.





The peppers are still going strong. The sales have been more than any other year before. We still have 500 or so left, so we are definitely getting low. Hoping the rain will stop so I can get out and work in the garden. I always plant my garden Memorial Day weekend, so hopefully the rain allows for that. We have had rain almost everyday for the last couple of weeks. I love spring, but I hate rain!

Greenhouse, Peppers, and Tomato Update 5/17/2011

The season is really moving right along. I have not even had time to post an update in the last week or so. The pepper plant and tomato plant sales have been excellent so far this year, which is great, because I was running out of greenhouse space. Below are some pics of what has been going on.

You can see in this pic that I am out of room in the greenhouse. Well, I guess I can start putting trays on the ground!


The next pics are of the pepper plants. You can see how well they are doing. The close up pic of the pepper plant is a Purple Beauty. It is the niceest looking plant so far. The Bhut Jolokia's are also looking great. I will post pics of them in the next couple of days.






Next u p is the tomato plants. You can see by the pics that they are growing extremely well.




We will be setting up at the Tractor Supply Co. Farmers Market May 20th in Marion, IN from 4pm-8pm. We will be selling pepper and tomato plants. Stop by and check us out! I will be sure to take pics of the market.

Pepper & Tomato Plant Update 5/9/2011

So we have finally gotten all the tomatoes transplanted and 85% of the peppers are transplanted. I am completely out of room in the greenhouse so plants are comming out of the greenhouse during the day and stored on the floor of the greenhouse at night. No big deal though. The outdoors will be good for them. Anyways, as you can see in the pics, the plants are doing amazing. Plant sales have been higher than ever and the season is still early. This year is my first for selling heirloom tomato plants. I have already sold out of 10+ varieties. I never knew they would be so popular. I will definitely grow more next year. The main focus has always been and always will be peppers though. Anyways, just wanted to share a quick update. The season is starting great and I hope that it continues.
