Viruses, Flowers, and More

So when I got to class today I remembered we had a quiz today... oops.  I also left a trowel in my garden last week... oops.  I'm really forgetful this semester, senioritis has got a hold of me in a tight grasp.  Anyways things in the garden seem to be going mostly well.  Today I planted the last new additions to my garden assuming nothing else gets replaces and that was the cauliflower.  I planted 3 of the little guys.  Most things are looking good including the peas, tomatoes, eggplants, zucchini, an cucumber.  Unfortunately I pulled two of my squashes up since they had a virus :( but I replanted two more and hopefully they will be virus free!  One of my eggplants also had a little flower on it and another one had a bud.  A couple of things aren't looking so great but we will see and these include the scallions, carrots, and I still have seen no clear signs of basil, cilantro, and kohlrabi... I hope they make it!

When it comes to my food I buy most of it exclusively from publix.  It's close, convenient and I love the bogo sales.  I would love to buy things from the co-op and farmers market but I find it to be really inconvenient and also the prices tend to be more expensive for the produce I'd like to buy.  I tend not to worry about things if they are organic, GMO free, or any of that stuff.  The main reason for all of this is price and I'm a broke college student so I am going to buy what is cheap!
The Tomato plants are looking healthy
