Our Garden

The garden in March.

We had potatoes.

Lettuce

A volunteer melon.

End of March everything had grown and we planted added pea seedlings.

Dan next to our 2 compost bins. This year we used our own compost and have seen amazing results.

Our strawberries.  Sadly we have a bunny that's been eating any that get close to harvest.

We have two peach trees.  We actually got pretty purple blossoms and have really small fruit now. The fruit won't be edible this year but it's fun to see what's coming!

Our blueberry bushes. We won a gift a card at our last HOA meeting to a garden center around here, so we decided to use it to buy some blueberry bushes. 


The blueberry bushes are laden with fruit and we are excited for harvest!

Our blackberries.  The one on the right has 1 berry growing. We also have raspberry bushes but something keeps nibbling on them so we'll see if them can make a come back or not.

Hannah's sunflower that she grew from a seed in preschool.

Our garden at the end of last month.

Our cantaloupe or honey dew.  We're not sure because they are all volunteers from the compost.

Our lettuce and spinach.  We've been eating salads almost everyday and sometimes for more than one meal.

Crazy potatoes.  We should have been burying them but didn't have the soil, so we'll see how they turn out.

It's growing :)

Our corn and other row of lettuce and spinach.

Our garden just this week.

The melons are getting huge!

These are the watermelons. The seedlings had a hard time and are finally starting to recover.  We'll see if we get a harvest. Also you can see our spicy peppers that are bigger already then they were last year at the end of the season.

This shows our snap peas, bush beans, carrots, basil and poppies.

We are looking forward to the blossoms.

These potatoes are seriously crazy!  Behind them we have our 2nd zucchini, more herbs, and tomatoes.

Our two rows of tomatoes.  We are growing 3 different varieties this year. We also have our bell peppers off to the right which are still behind but we hope they will pick up.

And it keeps on growing!  The girls can now sit under it for shade!  Behind the sunflower is our cucumbers that are starting to pick up!

And our corn. We plan on doing a final harvest of the lettuce and spinach to give the corn more room to grow.

  1. This may sound crazy, but your garden made me cry...it's beautiful!!! Growing a garden is one thing that I have not even come close to mastering. How wonderful for you and Dan to have all of that fresh food and how satisfying to have grown it yourselves! Nice job!
