Squash and Egg Plants

Here are some of my squash, I have about 30 little guys that I have just started and won't be moving outside for a little while. I love squash! Again, mulched with shredded newspaper!

One of the little guys here, this is a straight neck yellow squash..

These are my Eggplants, this is the first year since I was child that I have grown these. I hope they make it. I have 2 green eggplants, I didn't even know there was such a thing. The others are all purple.

Tomatoes and Peppers

Here are some of my pepper plants, we mulch with shredded newspaper. After it is wet, it makes a great mat! And stays were you put it, even with out Oklahoma wind! We also like to cage the peppers as well...These guys are growing so fast and so good. We have sweet banana, jalapeno, 4 different colors of bell (yellow, red, green and orange). And, as you can see we planted all of them in 5 gallon pots!

Here are some of my tomatoes. They need to grow a bit more. But, I know by the end of May, first of June, I will be eating some of them! I can't wait!



Here are some I haven't gotten into place yet, more peppers and some tomatoes. I do believe these are couple of Yellow
Boys and Cherokee Purples.

Refrigerator Homemade Grow Boxes/Earthboxes....

Well, we are trying something new this year. We are trying out to old Refrigerators for a grow box or raised bed. I know they don't look very pretty, but they were free and I am going to put some kind of wood around it to make it look better. Now these pictures show them far from done. We (my mom and I) gutted the refrigerators and moved them to were we wanted them moved. My mom put holes in the bottom of them (one of the pictures shows this). Now, we will add shredded paper to the bottom and my soil (I will take pictures), it could take a couple of weeks to get this done!
