OUR CONTAINER GARDEN STORY:

I have planted a garden every year since

we have lived in Chillicothe. We always try to grow a "salsa garden" with peppers, tomatoes and onions, and each year I am disappointed that we never seem to grow anything substantial!

Last August I was totally inspired by Dani Frahm's patio

tomato plant. When I saw that plant, I knew I wanted to have my own container garden this year.

Wes and I tore out our old garden, and

I spent a couple of days gathering containers from the basement and garage, and organizing tables and flower pots.

Here is what we came up with!

These are our Pablano Peppers, Banana Peppers,

Chili Peppers

and Cherry Tomato Plants.

They are such a pretty RED color!!

Here is my watering station:

I feed all of the plants and flowers about every 10 days.
