Pepperoncinis
I'm pretty excited to begin planting my vegetable garden. My garden consists of large pots on the side of my house, so I don't have room to plant a lot of things. I buy already established plants and plant them in big wooden pots. This year I am trying Pepperoncinis. We love these on sandwiches and in salads.
Grape Tomatoes
These are my favorite tomatoes for salads and a quick snack. This will be a first for me also. They are slightly sweet and I like them better than regular cherry tomatoes.
Roma Tomatoes
This will be my third year growing Romas. They are great for cooking tomatoes, bruschetta and capreses salad. I will also grow a regular tomato for sandwiches, just not sure which one yet.
Red Bell Pepper
Last year I grew green and wished all year they were red. So I'm trying it out this year.
Basil
Couldn't cook without it. Easy to grow.
My oldest daughter has also planted some vegetables in pots on her deck. She has a great herb garden with oregano, basil, thyme and sage. She is growing a regular tomato and grape tomato, and a Jalepeno! So far they look great! She gets sun all day.
I so wish I had more room to really grow a big garden. They are a lot of work, but the vegetables taste so GOOD and it is so exciting to watch them grow!

Hi Janie! Oh, you're making my mouth water! There is certainly nothing like home grown veggies!
Thanks for popping in to see my little birthday girl.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Hi Janie, A little birdie told me that you flew to SF for the day to visit museums and dine - How Devine!
So on to the "Garden Party" - I've been thinking (actually dreaming) of a more complete back yard garden too. The citrus trees are lonely, they need some veggies to keep them company. Do you think that Katie or Delaney could have some of their strong boyfriends remove the trampoline from our yard to make room for the veggies? I think that one of the colleges could use some jumping fun :-) don't you? I cannot wait to see photos from your day-long trip
