These guys are making a difference! I am going to go in the direction of setting up a system for apartment dwellers.

Still Growing Vegetables…

It’s been a hectic few months! Trying to grow enough product for TommyV’s Salsa is next to impossible to do on my own! Especially when you don’t have the space to grow. Luckily I have local farmers around me that can provide the produce that I need day in and day out. I go through about 150lbs-200lbs of tomatoes a week!

Now it’s late April and the dangers of frost are long gone. Lets get these plants outside. Space is very limited where I live and run my business. I need to use as much space as tastefully as possible to grow my produce. I use half of my balcony to grow the transplanted tomatoes, jalapeno peppers, habanero peppers, bell peppers and cilantro. Remember, I started my plants from seed and now have them in their final growing pots. The plants get about 8 hours of south east sun a day and get watered about once a week dependent upon how much rain we get.
