How does your garden grow.....

Very well these days! We are getting tons of things out of most of our plants, very very happy about that.

Currently growing: Tomatoes (4 varieties), squash, cucumbers, bell peppers, watermelons, and we still have a few blackberries.

This is our biggest watermelon growing -- it is bigger than my palm

Second largest.  Still fits in the palm, but almost too big.

3rd largest (we have a bunch of smaller ones than this too)

We are thoroughly enjoying our harvest and can't wait to plant more next year now that we know our garden spot is going to do well.

It's Garden Time

Do you garden? Do you love it?! I do.

We're finishing up all our planting and I can't wait to reap the benefits of our garden this year. Last year we didn't plant much, unsure how well it would do. This year we are/have branched out.

We've planted:

• Tomatoes (several varieties, including cherry ones) The girls LOVE cherry tomatoes
• Cucumbers (Hoping to make pickles with excess!)
• Zucchini
• Squash (Yellow)
• Bell Peppers
• Okra
• Broccoli
• Caulifleeuer
• Watermelon
• Cantelope
• Chives
• Grapes
• Strawberries

We were productive this weekend

Dh did most of the manual labor. It was a horrible week (details on that in another post) I had my SIL's baby shower saturday. While I was gone for that DH and Isabella did some work on the front yard. We haven't done much landscaping since we moved in, too busy on other projects.

First up was the old flower bed. DH took out my rose bush (its still alive, we'll replant it) to extend the garden area.  Last year we grew our tomatoes here and it worked out great!

Then he made around the big tree up front look good.  We won't be planting anything around it, but it certainly looks better tahn it did.

And Last, we made another flower bed, around the old well house.  The girls helped me plant some wild flowers there.  We'll see if they grow or not.
