I planted a garden for first time in my yard where grass was. Covered the grass until it died then simply plugged the ground and dropped in the plants that came up from seeds in the kitchen. Wow! Everything was mixed up and I didn't know what was what. Spinach, 2 types Lettuce, cucumbers, okra, 3 kinds of peppers, even a cantaloupe, radishes beets, carrots, basil, oregano, broccoli cauliflower and green onions 2 types.... in a tiny space. Everything just started growing. I didn't know what they were but after a month or so, I saw cucumbers, lettuce, a beet, or maybe it was a radish? a banana pepper, and the okra had flowers but nothing on them. Today the OKRA is as tall as me, at least 5 ft, and they just keep giving me okra. I didn't know I could just throw them in the freezer, so THANKS! I think it took my okra about 2 or 3 months to all get going. The one plant in most sun started early but the others are just now going. My neighbor told me after I planted them all in little holes that I should have cultivated the dirt before planting, but the plants didn't know that and they just took off from that little hole I put them in anyway. It has changed my life. I didn't think I could grow a garden, but I didn't really, I just took the time to plant a few seeds, and they did the rest. Makes me want to plant the seed of a dream I've had all my life and see if it will grow!
