Our first garden is becoming a happy success. The second one was planted a couple of weeks ago and is doing well. We ended up not being able to full all of the space, but we're trying not to be too upset about it.
The thing about gardens is they need weeding..yeah...we'd forgotten about that...so today we hit the dirt and helped our budding plant babies out.
Garden Number 2 (didn't need weeding yet)
 |
| Located in Garden #2 these are the gourmet beans; they are being pretty successful with growing. |
 |
| Located in Garden #2, one of two cantaloupe hills. They are also being very well behaved...so far. |
Garden Number 1
 |
| Garden One, a couple rows in of weeding and we decided to take a before picture |
 |
| After weeding |
 |
| Out of all the squash plants the most successful ones were the spaghetti and either the green or yellow zucchini. At least five of the sixteen plants didn't materialize so we planted four replacements today *fingers crossed* |
 |
| Only one out of five hills of potatoes sprouted...amazingly the one that did was the store bought potato that went to seed, and it's growing with a disturbing vengeance. Maybe the others are just taking their time?? |

| Sugar snap peas becoming all beautiful |
 |
| Leaf lettuce! |
 |
| A baby Big Boy tomato! |
 |
| Grape tomato buds ready to turn into juicy tomatoes! |
Working in the garden is relaxing...for the first couple of hours...then the mosquitos find you, the sun burns you...and if you are unlucky with arthritis and carpel tunnel everything becomes swollen and sore.
But at the end of the day, the things we eat from this garden are trustworthy. There have been no chemical sprayed on them, we know the dirt it was grown in, and the hands that have touched them. It will all be worth it.
