Had high hopes for this one.

I screened out some of my rough dirt to get the big rocks out of it. I also ordered a bag of planting soil online. I mixed the dirt and the planting soil and used it in this box. I also added some old Miracle-Gro food I found in the house when I bought it.

But I have not had much luck here. I originally planted tomatoes and peppers and onions. I do see a couple of sprigs popping up. I think they are peppers.

I have really kind of given up on the original plantings. I think maybe I planted to early. So I tried something different a few days ago.

I would say its over planting for one box. But I want to see if any one thing sprouts and takes hold. I don’t expect they will all take off and to well. We will see. I have had luck with zucchini in a box on the back patio.
