Its finally Spring 2013!

Hi everyone.
Sorry for being away for so long.

This has been a crazy few months. Getting a new job, working a lot more and continuing to grow my photography business.

But, I'm ready to do some gardening for 2013.

Let's go down the list on what I have started this year.

Seeds - Sprouting

Three kinds of leaf lettuce
Garden beans
Cherry tomatoes
Sweet peppers

Growing

Meyer Lemon tree (with one lemon on it!)
Banana plant
Green apple columnar tree
Red apple columnar tree
Aloe vera

I'm hoping to do cayenne peppers and jalapenos as I did last year as they did very well.

Last year I got very carried away, so I'm trying to cut back a little and take better care of some of these plants.

I had a tremendous pepper crop last year and my tomatoes did well as well.  But, my cucumbers didn't do much and my banana plants did ok, but didn't grow as much as I would have liked.

Strawberries - all got white powder mildew
Figs - didn't grow much
Blueberry plant - didn't grow much

I'm going to stay away from berry types this year as there are tons of birds around here.

ALSO, I WILL HAVE A FULL CONTAINER GARDEN THIS YEAR. NO IN GROUND GARDEN. ALL MY CONTAINER PLANTS THRIVED LAST YEAR.

Photo coming up soon!
