Quote by Albert Einstein "If you can't explain it to a six year old, you don't understand it yourself."
So it's another Friday Night in Winslow so what else is there to do but try-out our green thumbs and plant some vegetables for the first time! We decided that we would try planting our veggies in large flower pots up on the balcony, in the hopes of keeping critters away from them.
We went with four of our staple veggies, roma tomatoes, red bell peppers, red onion, and jalapeno peppers. Sadly, as soon as we got them into the pots, I noticed that they all looked pretty droopy and less full of life than they were before we planted them. We were concerned, but we assumed we didn't give them enough water for having just planted them. So, we gave them another good dose of water and waited...... and waited...... and finally, they perked back up!
Good for us because it would have been absolutely awful to kill our new veggie plants only having planted them minutes ago!
It's a Friday, it's Winslow, it was something we've been meaning to do forever so there you go!
We also planted some new herbs in our indoors window box. We planted parsley and cilantro from seeds, to go along with the basil and the chives that we have been growing for a year or so now. Hope they do something too!
Just for fun:
Weekly shopping trip: Bought $41.09 worth of stuff, but after coupons and sales: Spent only $18.59 out of pocket!
