Sara's Garden: Planting My Salsa Garden!
Posted by Sara Stubbs-Farris on 05/27/10Well it feels like summer has arrived early this year! All this hot weather has gotten me inspired to plant my salsa garden! Yesterday I picked out all my veggies and herbs and planted them in my little garden patch at Hoerr Nursery.
I used a combination of a raised garden bed and two trough containers to fit everything. They already had great quality topsoil, but I mixed in some Better Earth compost to make sure I get the most production out of my plants!
In one trough I planted organic cilantro from Hoerr Nursery and basil that I grew from seed. I can’t wait to chop these up and throw them in my salsa for some fresh flavor!
My other trough is filled with the best little cherry tomato plants! This variety is called ‘Red Robin’ and it’s made to stay small and bushy – perfect for container planting!
In the raised bed I planted these varieties:
Tomatoes

Peppers

I also planted gazanias and marigolds to add some color and attract beneficial insects!
I’m so excited to finally have this bed planted up! Be sure to check out the progress next time you’re at Hoerr Nursery!
So…anyone have a favorite salsa recipe to share? I’ve got lots of ingredients growing!
