Tomatoes! Yay!

It's always a great feeling of accomplishment to finish a new garden bed!  

 I am very proud of my new Tomato Bed, both in design and functionality as well as the use of resources that happened my way! 


 My friend Cathy at Pots N Pansies gave me some wonderful containers. I cut the bottoms off and wedged them into some weed block lawn fabric. This way when I water it will encourage the roots to dig deep into the soil, and save water too!


So last weekend I finally got my first set of tomatoes into the ground! Fifteen beautiful plants started from seed Nine Heirlooms and Six Hybrids. 

 
 Ten of the Fifteen are already flowering and Two are setting fruit already! 


Got some great bamboo from a job I did with The CateringCompany of Chapel Hill from the tent decorators, some awesome scraps that they were going to toss out!
 

 Well you know they say "one man's trash is another man's treasure!"
