Cabbage and Beets!


 It started to rain while we were out in the garden...so we left a little early.  I didn't get everything done, but prioritized to plant my cabbage and beet transplants and fertilize them and most of my tomatoes.  

                 Cabbage and beet transplants!  




There were flowers on my tomato plants, eggplant, and bush bean plant.
I saw one little green tomato, too!






 All of my plants were much taller and the stems of my tomato, zucchini, squash, and cucumber
plants were noticeably more spread out.  I think the plants' diameters doubled since last week!

                         



My carrots are barely peaking through and I haven't seen my herbs yet.  Nothing has died, thankfully.


I'm excited to be able to soon have vegetables to take home and eat.  It will be so nice to be eating vegetables that were grown in my own garden :)
 


I eat pretty healthy; not much of my food is processed.  I got all my groceries at Winn-Dixie this week.  (The food from Winn-Dixie is distributed from the Winn-Dixie in Jacksonville, Florida.)   It's only about 1/2 mile from where I live, so I bike there if I can't get to Ward's, Publix, or Save-a-Lot. 

Some of my staple foods are: 
-Eggs
-Plain yogurt
-Oatmeal
-Carrots
-Rice
-Eggplant, grown in USA
-Bananas, grown in Honduras
