Our first attempt at gardening is a salsa garden. It consists of tomatoes, peppers, onions and cilantro. We planted the seeds in the little pots and once they all started growing we moved them into a big pot in the back yard. I am hoping for lots of pico de gallo this summer!!!

We have also been growing a lemon on our lemon tree. There is one lemon in the tree and it has been growing for almost 6 months. In December the whole tree flowered and I thought we were going to get more lemons but all the flowers fell off. Behind the lemon tree is a Bing Cherry Tree. After we planted it we realized it needs another cherry tree to pollinate it in order to produce fruit. So we need to go buy another cherry tree, and hope the bees get busy pollinating! Maybe the lemon tree needs to pollinate, too. A lady a work with told me to get a water coloring paint brush and next time the tree flowers to dab it in each of the flowers-maybe pretending to be a bee. I'll give it a shot..
We also planted a few pots of flowers, its amazing how a little color can brighten up the whole back yard.

I love the idea of a salsa garden... what fun. I hope your fruit trees bear lotsa fruit! And I hope you enjoy the movie. ;)
ReplyDeleteFun! What a cute little lemon:) You should totally do the paintbrush thing...we do that with our tomatoes in the greenhouse since there's not really wind or bees to pollinate. Cant't wait for salsa!
