Tomatoes!

Do you love tomatoes? I bet you do. But planting tomatoes?? hehehe not many people would love to. Here I am nothing to do but cooking and planting in FLORIDA.

These tomatoes I planted from seeds, I never realized they grow fast! and I have no idea now to transfer them into bigger individual pots! Hope it's not too late

They are growing faster from the seeds


Before starting the seeds, I was buying the small tomatoes trees. Now they are growing taller and got flowers already. Can't wait to see my tomatoes fruit soon!

Making more space

This is my hubby's idea for planting the tomatoes in the big bucket! It's his mom's experience and he said it worked. What you need to do just drill 8 holes below part and fill in with the wood chips first till half of the bucket. Then put the soil half and put the tomato tree that is getting taller n bigger so that they have more space for growing. Get more info about how to plant tomatoes, Open this http://www.tomato.org/

Dahlia Flowers

Getting more flowers experiment with Dahlia. I got pink one but few weeks after that the flowers died.

First time bought

Now some new flowers will be blooming. More than five I guess! Yay!! I wish i could divide it but the leaves are too thick so that I couldn't see the stem. Perhaps should wait a little bit more after all flowers bloom.

New flowers to be

1, 2, 3 more than 5 going to bloom

Wanna learn more about it, just read this link http://www.dahlia.com/dahliatips.html

Marigold flowers

If you are interested in planting this flower, you can read all about it here http://www.gardenersnet.com/flower/marigold.htm
As my own experience, I did plant this flower from seeds since it's a way cheaper but well you need to be patient to see it grows and blooms. Look at my pic below, I never thought I could make it grows as tall as it is now from the seeds! :-) and can't wait what color this would be. What a beginner :-)

Green Thumb

Have you ever planted flowers, trees, and few days after they died? It means you have to get your thumb painted green, Joking! So how do you make your thumb green? Learn to know about gardening just like I do now :-)

Well when I was a little girl, I only enjoyed having the garden at home colorful. I never helped my mom planting any plants :-) perhaps just watered them once in a while if my mood's good :-) but now I have to work on them seriously since I have the yard that I should take care plus I try planting some veggies to make my self busy in this new place, Florida.
