Planting Our Garden in April

We had bought some herbs and planted them in pots at the end of March (see Herbs in Pots). We had prepped our garden’s soil in March, too (integrated some compost, turned it a bunch to loosen it up), but it took us until the second weekend in April to get our act together and actually plant our garden. It was a little bit later than we’d hoped, but we used all plants rather than seeds so we should be ok.

The garden consists of lots of peppers, tomatillo, and musk melon.

I also planted a couple more things in pots earlier this month – chives, and a tomato plant I got at work (my boss was giving away his extras, planted from seed).
