My hanging tomatoes didn't do well last fall, so I'm trying again. Filled and planted the unused box in the shade with some broccoli transplants. Planted a few bulbs last fall and a few came up in the strawberry bed. Love the color it adds.
It was time to add more boxes to the garden, so we continued to move toward the middle of the yard. Had a big space and wanted to make it interesting, so we moved the bird bath toward the patio, leveled the ground and added a 4 by 4 box, a 2 by 8 box along side and then a 2 by 8 box behind the lemon tree. You can see the final layout in the last two photos.
These are the current citrus trees that we have in the backyard. Enlarged all the watering basins and fertilized and watered each well. Found some nice citrus at Costco. Bought more orange (3), lime, myer lemon, mandarin and grapefruit (seven tree is all). Will plant them next month after we are sure there will be no frost.
It became harder and harder to move the Mel's mix around so we invested in a dump cart. As you can see we went from a box to a full fledged dump cart, that can also be used as a wagon with or without the insert and removeable sides. At first we thought it was too big, but as you will see in the post for March, we love it.
Know some of the pictures are in strange positions but did this in a hurry. More soon for March gardening.

woo hoo, love all those green things. It was so fun to be there and just watch the things grow. That cart looks like it was quite a process to put together. You'll just have to remember to leave a path between all those boxes (haha) Just think of how healthy you're going to eat this spring with all those homegrown veggies. Yum yum.
