| My "Hanging Tomato" system! |
Today I wanted to share some exciting things I found in the garden! I absolutely love vegetable gardening! There is something very exciting about growing and caring for plants that in turn give you yummy food to eat!
Here is a picture of one of the gardening systems that my husband has created for me. This is an earlier picture so you can get an idea of what it looks like! The plants are very grown up now and it is hard to see exactly what the system looks like! I have a lot of fun with this! As you can see I have a potting table in the center of the structure where I can work!
Here is another earlier picture to give you an idea of what it looks like! This side has a raised bed on the ground, along with some container planting as well. I hope to add, this fall, one or two more raised beds next to this one with a walkway in between each! I will have to fence in the area where I will plant my lettuce, as the bunnies love it way to much!
In this picture I was able to get a green tomato, as well as red tomato hiding amongs the leaves!
In this container I have a "Tomatillo" plant, a "Yummy Bell" pepper plant, and the one closest in the picture is a "Mini Belle" pepper plant which I started from seed indoors back in April. It is especially rewarding to start plants from a bag of seeds that was around $1.50. I am very proud of this one, considering the entire bag of seeds cost $1.19 and I currently have five of these plants growing in my vegetable garden!
In this container I have: A regular "Jalapeno" plant. A "TAM Jalapeno" plant (this is a mild Jalapeno that was created at Texas A & M University) It is very mild and delicious! Also planted here is a Bonnie "Bell Pepper" plant!
This container system was all built by my husband. It is all very nice because it is all within arms reach and very easy to take care of!
In addition, the bunnies cannot get to the plants!
To the left of the pepper container, in the white colored planter are some seeds that I planted of Wisteria! I am not sure where I am going to put those yet, but will have to be deciding soon!
Of course my post would not be complete without at least one or two pictures of some of my flowers currently blooming

You have a brilliant cohort in the garden to build such wonderful things! And I am envious of your peppers .... We don't have the heat to be able to grow them here!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful vegetable garden! Jealousy abounds!!!
ReplyDeleteHanging as in hanging upside down? If so how?
Your husband is very clever--could he come visit?
ReplyDeleteThank you ladies for the nice comments! We definitely have the heat here in Southern Indiana to grow the peppers, it has been exceptionally hot here lately! The tomatoes are planted, upside down in a bucket with a hole in the bottom of it. Basically we held the buck by the handle, put the roots of the tomato through the hole in the bottom and we filled the bucket with dirt! They really grow well. I have a wand for the end of my hose to allow me to be able to water them, as there is no way I could reach the top! They are very easy to pick!
ReplyDeleteHappy Gardening!
My husband is a great help in the garden! He is very creative. He actually also put in my pond for me as well! There is no way I would have the things that I have without him, I am definitely not as creative as he is!
ReplyDeleteGood morning! What a pleasant surprise - something new in a vegetable gardening! I am familiar with upside down tomatoes (one of my posts showing them: http://tanyasgarden.blogspot.com/2011/01/sprucing-up-vegetable-garden-2.html), but I've never seen such a structure that you show! A stand for containers/potting table! Absolutely amazing! I love it! Good drainage, convenience... Just great! My compliments to your husband!
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely gardens you have! I love that potting station with all the veggies and the hanging system looks great! Everything looks like it is doing good. What a fun little tour of your gardens!
ReplyDeleteYour potting table and upside down growing of your tomatoes is really neat. Everything is very lush and healthy looking.
ReplyDeleteIt is wonderful having DH's that can and do make things for our gardens.
Happy summer gardening ~ FlowerLady
Wow! How cool is that growing area that your husband created! I've seen raised beds and potting tables, but this is a whole new level. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteI love the hanging gardens! (I'm also a veggie-growing fanatic...)
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog and I am enjoying it. Wow, sounds like your hubby is a handy asset in the garden -- as well as your daughter :-) And way to go A&M on the pepper :-)
