The vegetable garden is flourishing! One surprise was my red cherry tomatoes were actually yellow tomatoes. That's OK, the kids still love them! We ate our first green beans fresh from the garden today. Carrots and jalenpenos are growing! Paul and I spotted several cucumbers well on their way. The pumpkin is taking over! It's sort of just a learning plant for me, I don't know if it will actually grow a pumpkin! The other two squashes have several flowers but no fruit. I planted marigolds to keep rabbits away and it seems to be working! Yay!!
The herb garden has several new items; oregano, lavender (french and English) and I just planted some lemon balm today (hope it takes!). I love making salads and going out to get the fresh herbs to add to it! Yum!
The bulbs mom gave me have started to bloom! We have a beautiful red Glad and now a crisp while Lily! Can't wait to see what the third bulb was (I forgot!). And the hydrangea is growing very well!
I noticed my morning glory has a flower on it, hope it gives me a good show tomorrow!
Notes for next year;
sugar snap peas for the kids
more stuff for kids to just pick and eat!
I have to say I love this journey of gardening! I never really thought I could be good at it. But I am, and I LOVE it!!
