We were very much interested to grow some vegetables in our backyard. Chicago weather with its ups and downs in temperatures made our job little harder. We can expect warmer days to begin only by June which will last for 3-4 months. In early March I sowed some tomato and chilli seeds indoors. All seeds responded well and I had couple of seedlings to put on ground.
There were too many fluctuations in weather this time. Even by mid June it was too cold. Tomatoes and chillies are warm season plants, so they cannot tolerate cold temperatures. I planted all my seedlings outdoors by end of June. Then, we were enjoying the vegetable garden grow.
Very soon we could see them bloom and turning into tomatoes and chillies. We could harvest some for this season. The whole feeling of homegrown produce was amazing. A fruit of our labor :-)
