I have loved gardening this year! We've already had a ton of lettuce, some peas (not as many as I would've hoped) and some ripe tomatoes. Yum! I started everything from seed this year and I'm so glad they seem to all be doing well. Here are some of the gorgeous fresh flowers we've been enjoying from the yard:
Celery and carrots. The carrots were actually planted in straight rows, but then we had a crazy storm that washed all the seeds around. Now we have a carrot patch :)
Zucchini:
Peas:
This is what I'm most excited about: asparagus! We won't get a crop this year (you're supposed to let it go to seed to strengthen the roots), but next year we'll hopefully get a lot!
Tons of tomatoes! These are yellow cherry tomatoes:
Green zebra:
Red Cherry:
Bell peppers:
And this is the epitome of "bloom where you're planted". This squash plant somehow started growing IN the composter and then squished itself through the little slats to reach the sun! I decided to let it grow - I guess we'll see what kind of squash it turns into!
My raspberry patch. This will also take a few years to get going, but it's so fun watching these little plants grow!
Can't wait to start harvesting all of our produce, but it's been just as fun growing things and teaching the boys how to garden!
