Today, we planted roughly 129 tomato plants, 7 tomatillo plants, and 11 pepper plants in the buckets. We had 9 buckets left over, so I planted 3 varieties of winter squash in 5 buckets and 3 varieties of cucumbers in 4 buckers as an experiment. Still have 4 trays of flowers to go.
5 gallon buckets planted with tomatoes situated around raised beds. #gardening #zone5bgardening #foodallergygardening #foodallergy #cornallergylife #cornallergy 5 gallon buckets planted with tomatoes, tomatillos, and peppers, situated around raised beds. #gardening #zone5bgardening #foodallergygardening #foodallergy #cornallergylife #cornallergy 5 gallon buckets planted with peppers and seeds situated around raised beds. #gardening #zone5bgardening #foodallergygardening #foodallergy #cornallergylife #cornallergy 5 gallon buckets planted with seeds, situated around raised beds. #gardening #zone5bgardening #foodallergygardening #foodallergy #cornallergylife #cornallergy

The first 2 and 1/3 trays, onions, shallots, leeks, and Hungarian blue poppies. It almost took me longer to remember how to program the timer for the lights than plant. The next round of seeds isn't until March 9th.

I can put 5 more trays on this set of shelves, and then I'll have to go to the upstairs set. Which means I have to finish cleaning the stuff off of the upstairs set.

Well, Mom and I got the plastic stripped off the raised bed parts and removed the drip lines in the garden where they are going to be. Then I got them put together for assembly down at the garden when I have someone to hold the pieces up or I have to drag a bunch of chairs to the garden.

The first day of the week of vacation that I took to build more raised hugelkulture beds and prep the garden for planting, lol. Hopefully, it will melt fast.
