lowell farms, est. 2007

Earlier this year, in a fit of boredom, I tried planting vegetables.  There was some limited success, until our trip to Europe effectively killed of nearly everything I had planted.

A few weeks ago, I decided to give it another shot.  I cleared out an 8' x 4' plot in the backyard and established the second go-around for Lowell Farms.

The pictures on the right are pictures from right after week two, when I actually planted things in the ground (as opposed to hauling out grass, sand and rocks -- what you hit two inches underground anything in Florida).

The second picture is of a yellow belle pepper plant, which has somehow survived neglect/floods/tropical storm-force winds, and is now growing no fewer than four pepper.  How it is alive, I do not understand.

The second batch of pictures (on the left) are a few I took today, which is incredible considering how big the four tomato plants in the back have gotten. 

And, sadly, I have to report we've had one casualty so far -- the habanero plant doesn't appear to be doing all that well.  In lieu of flowers or cards, please send cash donations to me.  I'll make sure it's put to good use.
