At the beginning of April we started a garden.
Nothing huge... about 8 feet by 16 feet.
We worked hard to remove the grass, till the soil, mix in good soil and natural fertilizer.
We planted a few plants and bunches of seeds.
This is the picture after we first planted everything...
About a month later we had all sorts of sprouts!!
And almost two months after we started everything has grown!
We've got green beans, strawberries, peppers (bell and jalepeno), cucumbers, squash, zucchini, herbs (basil, parsley and cilantro), tomatoes (roma and some other ones - can't remember their names!), onions... I think that's everything...
These are zucchini plants! The were seeds to begin with...
Cucumber plant... see the little cucumber just below the big leaf?
Strawberries!! These were our first edible items from the garden!
Never having done this before we were very excited to actually have tangible results!!
What's a garden in Texas without jalepeno peppers?! Can't wait to try to make some salsa using these, our various varieties of tomatoes and our onions!
Taylor helps!
A couple days ago we had our first dinner from the garden!! It's true... home-grown veggies are the BEST!
More to come!
Sure would be nice if we'd get a little rain!!
