Gardener Conall


Conall has another garden this year. He got a gift of money from Aunt Jackie and Uncle Bill for Easter. He wanted to use the money to buy plants for this year's garden, and Caitlin decided to do the same with her gift. They bought Roma tomatoes, heirloom tomatoes (Caitlin picked out a "pink" tomato plant), grape tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, a bell pepper plant, a strawberry plant, a watermelon plant, two basil plants, some marigolds and a jalapeno plant (for Po Po and Pop Pop).
We also had some seeds for green beans, cucumbers, and flowers. We had already started the garden off with a rosemary plant. As always with Conall's plants, the plants are flourishing. They are healthy and he has at least 10 green tomatoes, if not more. The kids have already eaten about 6 strawberries and there are more growing. I am interested to see if we actually get a watermelon from our plant!
