Spring planting

From Home Depot:


  • Cherry tomato
  • Jalapeno hot pepper
  • Sweet basil
  • Green bell pepper (2)
  • Fresh bites orange pepper
  • Better bush tomato
  • Onion set
    • There were a 100 of these and I planted them all over
  • Sweet potato
    • Supposedly the ones in the super market are treated so they don't sprout. We put these two by a window to see if they'll start sprouting in the next two weeks.
  • Raspberry
    • I'm not sure if they grow in our climate, but we decided to try it.
  • Grape (Tami G) Hybrid tomato
    • This was a big plant in a planter for almost $20. I'm not sure if it was supposed to stay in the planter but I decided to try transplanting it.
A lady there said that it gets too hot here for the big slicing tomatoes to grow well and only the smaller cherry or grape varieties work well.

I also planted some spinach and kale and probably a few other things.

The peas I planted a while ago have started to sprout.

I don't feel like there were a whole ton of blossoms on the apricot tree so I'm a bit worried we might not get a big crop this year.

But the little apricot sapling from the seed I planted made it through the winter!
