My garden is doing great! [View all]

I'm growing in pots because I had a problem with some critter digging my plants up, and my father helped me put them in large pots. I have two varieties of heirloom tomatoes, attempt #2 at cucumbers since my little gorgeous varmint cat uprooted the one I had started from seed the first time (I love her, she is forgiven), a tabasco pepper plant that I can scarcely believe I have FINALLY successfully grown (I think I've tried like 4 times to get one off the ground and looking good), a bell pepper for my father (which I despise, but I'm even kind to it, too) and a jalepeno pepper along with a shedload of onions.

I never would have guessed I had a green thumb, and I don't want to jinx myself, but I think I'm doing okay. I really love looking at them every morning then coming home in the evening, watering them and it seems like they have already grown.
