spring is here in central Texas and most everything should be in the ground and growing by now. Today was a gorgeous day, too bad I'm at work and couldn't enjoy all of it.

As usual i am a little behind schedule but it's getting done. I added two - (2' x 8') raised beds this year. Last fall I had just 2 - (3' x 12') raised beds and this year I wanted to grow a few more veggies.

on my grow list are:

cucumbers, garlic, red onions, watermelon,

cherry tomatoes, beafsteak tomatoes, celebrity tomatoes

habanero, ghost pepper, jalapeno

red bell pepper, basil, cilantro

The last three items will be planted this weekend, everything else is either in ground or in a pot. I also have a couple of new tomatoes I'm going to try this year: a black tomato and a striped tomato.

I also need to finish putting up my 3' tall mesh fencing... my 2 miniature pinschers love tomatoes.

my 3 new raised beds (hoping to hold 5 tomato plants each) and my compost pile (it's like another pet to me).

The original two raised beds... needs some cleaning but there are plants in there :)

those steaks in the ground are for the fencing.
