My Garden! Febuary's Pictures!

Broccoli plants
My second broccoli plant has sprouted it's flower head! The more I read books and jot down things in my journal, the better I become at gardening.

I know that next time, I will plant 1 broccoli plant in each square foot or large pot. They need a lot of room. Since, mine are close together, the flower heads are going to be small. Which is ok, because this is a learning process.

Here is the second flower head up close. Gardening is hard, but it is so much fun to do. Especially, when you reap the benefits or producting your own food.

Here is the 1st flower head that sprouted. I have already harvested this one and put it in the freezer. 

Chamomile

In my earlier post, I thought that this was either oregano or thyme. However, I really starting to believe that these plants are Chamomile.

If they are, I planted these back in September of last year. I have no idea why they took so long to sprout. I had thought the seeds were probably no good.

This is great news, because Chamomile has great medicinal properties!

Cabbage

My largest cabbage is starting to sprout its flower head. I had some pest attack the outer leaves, but sprinkling some Cat's Claw around it did the trick.

Bell Peppers

I need to split these guys up, because like tomatos, they like room. I got the seeds from the actual bell pepper bought at the store.

Cauliflower

These are my cauliflower plants. Like the broccoli, they need to be planted with a lot of space. My yeild will be small, but it is my 1st time and watching them grow is great!

Marigold

My marigold has also sprouted a flower head.
