Vegetable Gardening - learn as you grow

The things I have learned from my garden......

• Tomatoes grow exponentially 
• Six inch plants can grow to six feet plants rivaling the size of an arborvite
• Space planning is a. necessary, b. critical, c. not negotiable d. All of the above
• Once everything starts growing you are thankful that a couple of plants didn't make it 
• Warm cherry tomatoes right off the vine are awesome 
• Squirrels like tomatoes 
• It is awesome to harvest lettuce each night for a dinner salad 
• Cilantro and basil out of your garden are terrific
• No matter how big your tomato cages are, they won't be big enough 
• When buying plants definitely put half of the tomato plants back before checking out 
• Beans are fun to grow  - grow more beans next year
• Potatoes near tomatoes get lost
• Apparently one dose of miracle grow is all that is needed 
• Gardens can become jungles 
• Gardens are fun
