We planted our garden 54 days ago...
and it is doing so awesome!!! Check out all this lettuce...
My tomatoe plants are dripping with green tomatoes. Some are starting to turn orange.
The whole east side of the garden I planted big sunflower plants and they are all growing so tall! No sunflowers yet, but they are coming. Even without the sunflowers the leaves follow the sun throughout the day.
My herb garden is sparse. This is the one area that didn't grow so well. I'm going to re-plant them pretty soon here. But we have some cilantro and basil growing, just not as much as I wanted.
Basil leaves are so pretty...
And the yard is full of the most beautiful day lillies...
A few days after I took all those pictures (I'm a slow blogger) we went out and gathered a bunch of stuff to make a salad...
Snap peas.
Cherry tomatoes.
And lettuce coming out my ears!!! Anyone want some lettuce? Come and get it!
Growing this garden has been one of the most fun and rewarding things that I've done. It's so nice to come out in the morning and check on my plants. They are doing so good! I can't take too much credit though, this soil here is amazing. I think about all the hands that have worked this ground for the past 100+ years. There are very few rocks, the dirt is dark brown. It's a pretty cool thing to be a part of.
Gorgeous garden! Our lettuce is pathetic. I wish we lived closer; I'd totally take some!
ReplyDeleteI love it. One day I'll garden. The desert is not as rewarding. :D
ReplyDeleteJealous. We thought we'd done good but now I know differently. We did better than last year. But I kept meaning to take pictures then I went out this week and it had died overnight. Seriously - the heat killed it. So sad. Your garden is amazing. It just looks pretty besides tasting delicious I am sure. Text me or call sometime - I'd love to hear how your singing times are going!!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is an awesome garden! Good job!!
