I’d like to introduce Aaron and Alison. They have a small garden they are growing this summer and selling the produce here at our greenhouses.
The tomatoes suffered through about 6 weeks of rain. They survived but don’t look so good now. A few weeks of sunshine and some TLC and they should perk up.
Here are some more pictures of Darrel, Matt and Colby’s garden:
Here is my pathetic little garden:

We’ve been real busy here on the farm shipping out Charley’s Veggies Plants so we haven’t had much time to get the garden ready. Didn’t matter much anyway. It has been so wet that the ground is just now starting to dry out. Charley and Paul (Charley’s brother) are finally getting to plow up the garden again today. Hopefully we can get the ground tilled up good and get some veggies planted here in the next week or so.
Veggie sales this year are through the roof. It seems like everyone is planting a garden this year which is a good thing, I think. Hopefully, we can use this blog to help all you gardening greenhorns to have a productive and tasty garden.
Check back as often as you can. We will be adding more how-to’s as we start planting.

Here are Five Tips for Growing Container Vegetables
We have recently added graphics of the plant tags to each variety page of Charley’s Vegetables. This will allow you to get a visual on what each variety of vegetable looks like and also become familiar with the Charley’s Vegetables tags. Now you will know what to look for when you go to buy your vegetables.
We are currently shipping Charley’s Veggies to southern Louisiana, Dallas/Fort Worth and have also shipped a few shipments in Arkansas and Oklahoma.
If you are in any of these areas and are interested in purchasing Charley’s Veggies, you can contact you local garden center and request that they carry them; or you can leave a comment here on the blog, and we can let you know where the nearest garden center is to you that carries Charley’s Veggies.
These are some pictures of our first crop of Charley’s Veggies. We loaded most of these up along with a lot of tomatoes and peppers and shipped them out to the Stine Lumber stores in Louisiana last week. I just took an order from Naylor’s Hardware and Garden Center in Baton Rouge, LA, and they told me that it was sunny and nice and that everyone was out planting their garden. Check out their web site. They have some good information on their Planting Guide page for planting a garden in Southern Louisiana.
I wasn’t really ready to go live, but Lacey had started sending me all this good information (see her posts below) so I decided to get it out there so that everyone can start getting ready for their spring garden.
The one goal we have for this web site is to tell and show anyone who wants to learn how to prepare, plant, maintain and harvest a successful garden. Lacey will be sending us posts and pictures on how she does things and here we will be working with Charley himself on our garden complete with video demonstrations.
We hope you come back often and learn a lot.
