April 29, 2012: Buying vegetable plants – starter plants in peat pots.

I went to Home Depot and purchased a few Bonnie vegetable starter plants (already in peat pots for easy planting).  I also bought two bags of Sta-Green garden soil (2 cubic feet) and mixed it into my tilled area (it was the cheapest garden soil bag per cubic feet).  I immediately transplanted the Bonnie plants into my garden.  Here’s the list:

  • Red beefsteak tomato
  • Parks whopper hybrid tomato Atkinson tomato
  • Early girl hybrid tomato
  • Better bush hybrid tomato
  • Beef master hybrid tomato
  • Cherokee purple heirloom tomato
  • Big beef hybrid tomato
  • Eggplant black beauty
  • Ichiban egg Japanese eggplant
  • White eggplant
