My garden

Yesterday, my sweet mom came over to help me finish the last of my plantings.  Take a look at our hard work.  I really hope the Lord will bless my measly efforts at a garden.  It’s something I’ve wanted to do for years but never got  around to. 

Here’s the main part.  Had to fence it in to keep the dogs out.

This is my roma tomato plant.  The main stem accidentally snapped about 75%, but I read that it’ll heal itself if you help support it. I also have 6 celebrity tomatoes, 3 sugar grape, and 1 yellow pear.  Yum. 

This is one of my 3 strawberry plants.  See the tiny strawberry already emerging? 

Here’s one of my 3 cucumbers.  I like the curly vine.  

My serrano pepper, see the tiny one already there?

The long stringy things are onions, red and yellow.  Then there’s a jalapeno plant, red, green & purple bell peppers, and garlic.

Every garden must have some herbs, so in the orange bucket I have parsley, cilantro and chives; in the blue planter basil, oregano, thyme and rosemary. I also have a little pot with some chocolate mint.  

Then I have a little separate watermelon patch since they need more space.  There are 6 plants.

I’m also planting some lettuce and spinach, but not sure where, and I’m going to try a thing called “trash can potatoes.”  I’m curious how much of this will actually grow.  I’ll keep you updated.
