| Tomatoes and Lettuce  | | | |  Two of my favorite fresh garden vegetables are lettuce and tomatoes. I haven't had a garden since I moved into this house in 2003. This year, my neighbor gave me two tomato plants. I've been fertilizing them and they are planted out in my front yard in a tire where they are exposed to plenty of sun. They are flowering like crazy. Today I tied them as they are getting tall and heavy. Then I thought...hmmm...why not? I bought myself a packet of lettuce seeds (Grandrapids variety) and planted them right in the soil around the bottoms of the tomato plants. Gardening in the suburbs... for gardening junkies who gotta have it. LOL.

| |  They are great small garden vegetables. We don't have a vegetable garden this year, I like to put a few things in usually.

| | I am getting really excited. The tomatoes are flowering like mad. I don't know if it's the soil I used or the Miracle Gro. | | | |

| | Miracle Gro is a wonderful product. We always use it when we feed out plants. | | | | | | | Landscaping Services Impress Your Neighbors W/ A Healthy yellowpages.com | add comment | | | |

| |  LOL—sounds like a plan- I hope that your blossoms turn into beautiful tasty tomatoes and your lettuce grows- I am not one for lettuce in the garden- We plant it each year but it doesn’t taste the same as store boughten lettuce- My favorite thing in my garden is the tomatoes- followed by cucumbers and then green beans- We even planted cantaloupes this year to see how they do- We have a very large garden- Peppers (green, sweet and hot), beans, radishes, lettuce, tomatoes (both cherry and regular), zucchini, squash, cantaloupes, carrots, beets (YUK)…. I think that is all- I can’t wait for the things to start growing!

| | Of course it doesn't taste like lettuce from the store. It's so much BETTER. I will be interested to hear about your pepper and melons. I have never had luck with peppers at all. I think our growing season is too short. | | | | | | | Grigg Design Landscaping Design/Build Hardscapes/Softscapes Northern VA Patios and Landscapes www.gdiva.com | add comment | | | |
